[A personalized approach to recurrent abdominal pain syndrome based on clinical and laboratory algorithms].

Objective: To optimize the diagnosis of abdominal pain syndrome occurring under the «mask» of acute pancreatitis via algorithms for clinical and laboratory examination.
Material and Methods: We have retrospectively and prospectively analyzed patients with abdominal pain syndrome. We selected all patients with acute pancreatitis who repeatedly applied with abdominal pain syndrome to polyclinics and hospitals between 2017 and 2021. A personalized algorithm for patients with abdominal pain syndrome occurring under the «mask» of acute pancreatitis has been developed. This algorithm underlies an information system for decision-making support.
Results: An optimal diagnostic algorithm is needed in reception departments of hospitals and polyclinics. This one depends on equipment of hospitals and needs to be constantly improved. When refusing hospitalization and discharging patients with recurrent pain syndromes, physicians should orient the doctors of general network to use more informative methods. Indeed, the last ones may be unavailable in reception departments and various districts due to technical, qualification and organizational shortcomings.
Conclusion: Advanced clinical and laboratory diagnostic methods based on the above-described algorithm are necessary for recurrent abdominal pain syndrome occurring under the «mask» of acute pancreatitis.
