Epidemiology and Risk Factors
| Recommendation | Evidence Level | Strength of Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Data on population-based estimates of CP are emerging. | Low | Conditional |
| A small fraction of patients progress from AP to CP. | Moderate | Conditional |
| Alcohol and smoking are independent risk factors for CP. Both are associated with disease progression, and their risks are likely multiplicative. | High | Strong |
| The spectrum of risk factors for CP has broadened. | Low | Conditional |
| Genetic discoveries are rapidly uncovering new susceptibility factors. Knowledge of gene and gene-environment interactions may translate into new diagnostic and treatment paradigms. | Moderate | Strong |
