OBJECTIVES: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is better described than before, but there is still no international consensus for definition, diagnosis, and treatment. Our aims were to analyze the short-and long-term outcome of patients with focus on pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions, to search for predictive factors of relapse and pancreatic insufficiency, and to compare patients with type 1 and type 2 AIP.METHODS: All consecutive patients followed up for AIP in our center between 1999 and 2008 were included. Two groups were defined: (a) patients with type 1 AIP meeting HISORt (Histology, Imaging, Serology, Other organ involvement, and Response to steroids) criteria; (b) patients with definitive/probable type 2 AIP including those with histologically confirmed idiopathic duct-centric pancreatitis ("definitive") or suggestive imaging, normal serum IgG4, and response to steroids ("probable"). AIP-related events and pancreatic exocrine/endocrine insufficiency were looked for during follow-up. Predictive factors of relapse and pancreatic insufficiency were analyzed.RESULTS: A total of 44 patients (22 males), median age 37.5 (19-73) years, were included: 28 patients (64%) with type 1 AIP and 16 patients (36%) with type 2 AIP. First-line treatment consisted of steroids or pancreatic resection in 59 and 27% of the patients, respectively. Median follow-up was 41 (5-130) months. Steroids were effective in all treated patients. Relapse was observed in 12 patients (27%), after a median delay of 6 months (1-70). Four patients received azathioprine because of steroid resistance/dependence. High serum IgG4 level, pain at time of diagnosis, and other organ involvement were associated with relapse (P
