Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common complications in chronic pancreatitis leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Therefore nutritional therapy can be considered imperative. However, there is limited evidence on the treatment of malnutrition in patients with chronic pancreatitis. This study aims to investigate the effect of an intensified nutritional therapy on nutritional status in malnourished patients with chronic pancreatitis. By testing feasibility of this intensified therapy valuable recommendations for future treatment of malnutrition in patients with chronic pancreatitis can be derived.
