Use of pancreatic endotherapy in patients with chronic pancreatitis: results from a multicenter cohort study in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Although pancreatic endotherapy (PET) is commonly used for treating adverse events of chronic pancreatitis, data on the frequency and factors associated with the use of PET are limited. Our aim was to define the use of and factors predictive for receiving PET in a well-characterized chronic pancreatitis cohort.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional analysis of data from PROCEED, a multicenter U.S. cohort study of chronic pancreatitis. PET modalities primarily consisted of ERCP. A treatment course was defined as the number of sessions performed for a specific indication. A repeat course was defined as PET >1 year after completion of the last course. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictive factors for receiving PET, and proportional rates model
