Popis: BACKGROUND AND AIM There is lack of data on functional and morphological recovery after an attack of acute pancreatitis (AP) or acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) in children. This study aims to evaluate the functional impairment and morphological changes in the pancreas after recovery. METHODS All consecutive patients presenting with AP (n = 61) or ARP (n = 35), as per standard diagnostic criteria, were enrolled. After 2 months of pancreatitis, fecal elastase-1 (FE-1) (μg/g) and 2-h oral glucose tolerance test to calculate oral disposition index (DIo ) (mmol/L) (β-cell function) were performed. Morphological changes were assessed by endoscopic ultrasound and transabdominal ultrasound. Patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) (n = 27) and healthy children (HC) (n = 26) were included as controls for functional parameters. RESULTS At a median follow up of 12 (4-44) and 11 (2-108) months, 66.7% and 75.9% (P = 0.57) of AP and ARP demonstrated exocrine insufficiency (FE-1
