Trends and outcomes of endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage and pancreatic necrosectomy for acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions has resulted in an expanding domain of non-surgical endoscopic methods for treating acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). We examined the current trends and outcomes of EUS-guided drainage and endoscopic necrosectomy in the United States.

Methods

This observational retrospective study used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database (2016-2020) to identify adult patients with ANP who underwent endoscopic necrosectomy, based on ICD-10-CM codes. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression, and linear models were used to examine the outcomes of ANP in patients who underwent endoscopic necrosectomy in comparison to patients who had no such interventions.

Results

Among 11,212 ANP cases identified, 493 (4.4
