Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to evaluate patients who underwent endoscopic stone extraction via ERCP for common bile duct stones, focusing on two major objectives:

1. Preventive effect of endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) immediately after complete stone removal
We will compare patients who received EBD immediately after complete stone removal with those who did not receive EBD, assessing:Patient-related factors,Procedure-related factors,Post-procedural factors.Through these analyses, we aim to clarify the preventive effect of EBD on postoperative biliary outflow obstruction and to compare the medical costs associated with each treatment strategy.

2. Risk factors for post-ERCP cholangitis in patients without EBD
Among patients who did not undergo EBD, we will compare those who developed post-ERCP cholangitis with those who did not to identify risk factors associated with cholangitis after ERCP.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Incidence of biliary outflow obstruction and post ERCP cholangitis in patients who underwent complete stone removal for common bile duct stones comparing the EBD group and the non EBD group

The following criteria were used for the definitions.

Biliary outflow obstruction was defined as meeting criterion a.
Post ERCP cholangitis was defined as meeting all of criteria a b and c.

a. Elevation of any hepatobiliary enzyme to a value greater than the upper limit of normal and greater than one point five times the pre ERCP value measured twelve to twenty four hours after ERCP.

b. Persistent elevation of white blood cell count and C reactive protein for twelve to twenty four hours or longer after ERCP accompanied by fever of thirty eight degrees Celsius or higher with other infectious etiologies excluded.

c. New onset or worsening of cholangitis diagnosed by the attending physician based on clinical symptoms requiring additional treatment including conservative management.

Key secondary outcomes

Analysis of factors associated with the development of biliary outflow obstruction and post ERCP cholangitis in the non EBD group

Study Population and Case Identification
Each institution will identify patients who underwent ERCP during the study period by reviewing endoscopy databases and medical records using terms related to common bile duct stones and cholangitis. Patients in whom complete removal of common bile duct stones was confirmed by fluoroscopy will be included. They will be classified into those who received endoscopic biliary drainage after stone removal and those who did not. Patient and procedure characteristics will be compared to evaluate whether endoscopic biliary drainage prevents postoperative impairment of biliary outflow.

Data Collection
Patient related factors
Age, sex, major underlying diseases, use of antithrombotic medication, presence of the gallbladder and gallbladder stones, performance status, history of papillary treatment, clinical findings including vital signs, abdominal pain, fever, consciousness, oxygen saturation, jaundice, and ascites. Laboratory tests including blood counts, coagulation tests, and biochemical tests. Presence and severity of cholangitis and imaging findings.

Procedure related factors
Presence of a diverticulum near the papilla, use of precut sphincterotomy, pancreatic duct cannulation, method of papillary treatment, length of incision, diameter of dilation, diameter of the common bile duct, size and number of stones, method of extraction, use of lithotripsy, type of biliary drainage, type of stent, and duration of the procedure.

Post procedural factors
Clinical findings after the procedure, laboratory tests on the following day, presence of impaired biliary outflow, presence and severity of cholangitis after ERCP, treatment of cholangitis, unplanned removal of biliary drainage, presence of cholecystitis, other complications including pancreatitis, bleeding, and perforation, early complications, use of ursodeoxycholic acid, time until oral intake, length of hospital stay, final follow up date, and recurrence of stones or cholangitis.
