Table 3 Faecal elastase-1 levels in M-ANNHEIM stages of pancreatitis

M-ANNHEIM stage (n %)	Median (IQ range) of stool fat in g/d
0, 13 (6.7)	289.0 (249.0-383.2)
I, 85 (43.8)	389.1 (263.2-436.1)
II, 75 (38.6)	144.3 (108.9-219.0)
III, 21 (10.8)	87.6 (41.1-119.1)

A statistically significant difference was present between the different M-ANNHEIM stages (P < 0.001, Kruskal-Wallis test). Comparison between stages 0 and II, 0 and III, I and II, and II and III showed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001 for all comparisons, Mann-Whitney U test). A P value of < 0.008 was considered statistically significant for such comparisons between any two groups after Alpha adjustment.
