The rate of pancreatitis was higher when the pancreatic duct was catheterized two or more times, although this difference was marginally non-significant statistically (5.4% vs 2.5%; P = 0.062).
The rate of pancreatitis was higher when the pancreatic duct was catheterized two or more times, although this difference was marginally non-significant statistically (5.4% vs 2.5%; P = 0.062).
Post-ERCP cholecystitis was more frequently observed in patients who had a stent placed (8/721, 1.1% vs 7/1463, 0.7%), although this difference did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.102).
Our findings echo this, with no statistically significant difference in mortality, although a numerical trend was noted.
