Prolonged cannulation time is an independent risk factor for moderate-to-severe post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis: a large cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Moderate-to-severe post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis contributes to most of the poor outcomes of patients with post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). However, it remains unclear which part of the patient is more vulnerable to moderate-to-severe PEP (MS PEP). In this study, we aimed to identify the risk factors independently associated with MS PEP.

Methods

Consecutive patients with native papilla who had undergone ERCP were included in this study. The patient-related and procedure-related variables were retrieved from a prospectively maintained ERCP database. The primary outcome was the incidence of PEP. MS PEP was defined as a prolonged hospital stay of ≥4 days (as per the Cotton criteria) or the presence of organ failure (as per the r
