n=11; 64.7%), with a trend toward significance (p=0.063), whereas previous pancreatitis was comparably less common in both groups (n=3; 10.3% vs. n=3; 17.6%; p=0.48).
n=11; 64.7%), with a trend toward significance (p=0.063), whereas previous pancreatitis was comparably less common in both groups (n=3; 10.3% vs. n=3; 17.6%; p=0.48).
The presence of cholangitis demonstrated the highest odds ratio (OR = 6.09; 95%CI 0.40-93.51; p = 0.189), suggesting a possible trend toward increased risk, though this did not reach significance.
Although these associations did not reach statistical significance, they align with prior findings that emphasize the technical advantages and lower anastomotic tension achieved in cases with more dilated ducts [ 2 , 12 , 16 , 17 ].
In multivariable analysis, no variable independently predicted 30-day morbidity or mortality, though cholangitis showed a trend toward higher risk and bile duct diameter toward protection.
