*2.5.2 Enteral nutrition or parenteral nutrition*

It is estimated that 5% of patients must regularly undergo EN to prevent or reduce malnutrition [67]. The indications for acute pancreatitis summarised in the **Table 9** also apply to Chronic Pancreatitis. Fibres should similarly be reduced to avoid interference with pancreatic enzymes.

Finally, it is estimated that only 1% of patients with Chronic Pancreatitis undergo Parenteral Nutritional treatment. Usually this treatment is reserved to patients with stenotic complications or enteric fistulas waiting for surgery.
