Indomethacin preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis in patients aged under 50 years undergoing sEST combined with EPBD of choledocholithiasis / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of indomethacin preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis ( PEP ) on the patients younger than 50 years undergoing small endoscopic sphincterotomy (sEST) combined with endoscopic papillary balloon dilation(EPBD) in the treatment of choledocholithiasis. Methods 202 patients younger than 50 years with choledocholithiasis were divided into two groups, 101 patients in treatment group before surgery were rectal administrated with indometacin, 101 patients in control group were administered with placebo, all patients underwent sEST combined with EPBD in the treatment of choledocholithiasis.After operation,the abdominal pain NRS score, amylase, incidence of pancreatitis and hospitalization time were recorded, and the rates of heartburn, rash, gastrointestinal bleeding were recorded.Results In the treatment group, pain NRS score 24 hours after operation was(0.327 ±0.763), amylase 24 hours after operation was (116.87 ±113.97) U/L, there were 3 cases of postoperative pancreatitis (2.97%) in the treatment group,and the postoperative hospitalization time was (6.42 ±2.11) days.In the control group, pain NRS score 24 hours after operation was ( 0.634 ±1.027 ) , amylase 24 hours after operation was ( 185.38 ±160.60 ) U/L, there were 11 cases of postoperative pancreatitis (10.89%) in the control group, and the postoperative hospitalization time were (7.29 ±2.71) days.The differences of NRS pain score, amylase, incidence of pancreatitis, postoperative hospitalization time between these two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05 ) .The differences of the rates of postoperative heartburn, rash, gastrointestinal bleeding between these two groups were not statistically significant.Conclusion Indomethacin rectal administration can prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis ( PEP ) on the patients who undergoing sEST combined with EPBD in the treatment of choledocholithiasis,and this administration is quite security.
