Outcomes of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography performed in the AM versus PM: does procedural timing matter?

ABSTRACT:

Background

ERCP is a technically demanding procedure that carries a high cumulative adverse event (AE) rate of >10%. Identifying risk factors for adverse events is paramount. Procedure timing, as a surrogate for endoscopist fatigue, has been shown to influence key quality metrics in colonoscopy, but data on this relationship in ERCP is sparse.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of ERCP procedures performed by 5 experienced staff endoscopists, with or without advanced endoscopy fellow (AEF) involvement, from January 1, 2010 to December 1, 2020 at St Michael's Hospital, Toronto, Ontario, a regional referral center for therapeutic endoscopy. The primary outcome was the difference in rate of selective deep, duct canulation between AM and PM procedures.
