To explore the effect of multidisciplinary collaborative discharge preparation service in elderly patients with chronic pancreatitis.

From January 2020 to March 2021, a total of 152 elderly patients with chronic pancreatitis who were hospitalized in Department of Geriatrics of Beijing Friendship Hospital Capital Medical University were selected by convenience sampling method and divided into the observation group and the control group (76 cases in each group) using random number table method. The control group conducted conventional nursing, and the observation group carried out multidisciplinary collaboration discharge preparation services based on conventional nursing. Laboratory indicators, quality of life (SF-36) , readmission rates, and clinical stage progression were investigated.

After discharge, hemoglobin, prealbumin, albumin and SF-36 scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, while the fasting blood glucose of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Hemoglobin, prealbumin, albumin and SF-36 scores of the observation group after discharge were higher than those before discharge, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . The readmission rates of the observation group and the control group were 14.47% and 21.58% respectively, and the clinical stage progression rates were 10.53% and 25.00% respectively. The differences in the readmission rate (χ²=6.273, P<0.05) and clinical stage progression rate (χ²=5.449, P<0.05) between the two groups were statistically significant.

Multidisciplinary collaborative discharge preparation services applied to elderly patients with chronic pancreatitis can effectively improve patients' nutritional status and quality of life, reduce readmission rates and delay disease progression.
