Can patient and pain characteristics predict manometric sphincter of Oddi dysfunction in patients with clinically suspected sphincter of Oddi dysfunction?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biliopancreatic-type postcholecystectomy pain, without significant abnormalities on imaging and laboratory test results, has been categorized as "suspected" sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) type III. Clinical predictors of "manometric" SOD are important to avoid unnecessary ERCP, but are unknown.

Objective

To assess which clinical factors are associated with abnormal sphincter of Oddi manometry (SOM).

Design

Prospective, cross-sectional.

Setting

Tertiary.

Patients

A total of 214 patients with suspected SOD type III underwent ERCP and pancreatic SOM (pSOM; 85% dual SOM), at 7 U.S. centers (from August 2008 to March 2012) as part of a randomized trial.

Interventions

Pain and gallbladder descriptors, psychosocial/functional disorder que
