Summary

Pancreatitis is the most common complication after ERCP, although its frequency varies significantly depending on the study from \< 2% up to 40%. Based upon data from studies that have included unselected patients, post-ercp pancreatitis (PEP) is mild, moderate, and severe in 45%, 44%, and 11% of cases, respectively. Dysfunction of the sphincter Oddi, female gender, younger age, previous history of pancreatitis, prolonged procedure time and pancreatic guidewire passages are well-known independent risk factors for PEP. This study will assess whether the development of PEP can be predicted by Visual analogue scale (VAS) level 1 hour after ERCP.
