Multiple guidelines recommend performing cholecystectomy (CCy) before hospital dismissal for patients with mild gallstone pancreatitis that is not complicated by infection or necrosis. In this retrospective study, the authors sought to define the outcomes of deviation from this practice using a large Veteran\u2019s Administration data repository. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2018, of 9426 patients with biliary pancreatitis, 2830 (30%) underwent \u201cindex\u201d CCy before dismissal, 1830 (19.4%) underwent \u201cinterval\u201d CCy at a median of 92 days following dismissal, and 4766 (50.32%) did not undergo CCy. In the no-CCy group, 283 (5.9%) patients underwent ERCP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The primary outcome of readmission for gallstone pancreatitis occurred in 8.5% of the index CCy group, 7.8% of the interval CCy group, and 14.6% of the no-CCy group (P<.001). Compared to the index group, the adjusted odds ratio for readmission was significant only for the no-CCy group (1.80; 95% CI, 1.58-2.05; P<\/em><.001). Odds ratios for cholangitis were significantly increased for interval CCy, and odds ratios for jaundice were increased for both index CCy and no-CCy. Over time, the incidence of interval CCy decreased in favor of index CCy; however, the incidence of no-CCy did not change significantly. The no-CCy group had significantly more comorbidities and greater rates of death during the index hospitalization and the subsequent 5-year interval.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Multiple guidelines recommend performing cholecystectomy (CCy) before hospital dismissal for patients with mild gallstone pancreatitis that is not complicated by infection or necrosis.
