Diet-induced inflammation is associated with fatty pancreas in patients with common bile duct stones

Abstract Inflammation has been proven to be associated with chronic diseases. We hypothesized that higher diet-induced inflammation is associated with increased risk of fatty pancreas (FP). Among 278 patients with common bile duct (CBD) stones, 89 patients were diagnosed with fatty pancreas (case group) during endoscopic ultrasonography and the other 189 patients were healthy in this regard (control group). Dietary inflammatory index (DII), empirical dietary inflammatory pattern (EDIP) and dietary inflammatory score (DIS) were calculated based on a 168-question valid
