1/ Great question and thx for highlighting this @TheLancet RCT re: #ERCP for gallstone pancreatitis @JBortinger! A few reactions below, and I hope that others on #GItwitter will add their thoughts as well..
2/ Historically, urgent ERCP for gallstone pancreatitis has been recommended in only 2 subgroups of patients:
➡️ pts w/ cholangitis (💯) or
➡️ w/ 'predicted severe pancreatitis' (🤔)
3/ That 'predicted severe pancreatitis' concept was supported in this 1988 Lancet study (the typesetting looks like it's actually from 1938..). Idea was that a persistent/obstructing stone could worsen pancreatitis outcome...so.. ERCP.
