Progress on risk factors of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis in children / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

In recent years, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)has gradually become the main diagnosis and treatment for congenital biliopancreatic diseases as well as acute recurrent pancreatitis(ARP)in children.Post-ERCP pancreatitis(PEP)is the most common complication, and a few can develop severe acute pancreatitis endangering the children′s life, so it is of great clinical significance to identify the risk factors for PEP in children.Various factors associated with PEP were identified in pediatric patients, such as endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST), rapid multiple injections of pancreatic duct contrastagents, prophylactic pancreatic duct stents, and lack of operator experience.This article reviews the progress on risk factors of PEP.
