Unknown: I could not predict life expectancy from this information alone. What was the cause of the pancreatitis?

Unknown: Agree with previous answer. There are several medications that can replace or supplement the pancreas' function. I am not sure the coma (if the underlying cause was fixed or stabilized) will impact life expectancy much. Talk to your gastroenterology (GI) doctor about how your pancreas is functioning and if he/she thinks it might impact your overall life expectancy.
