• Papillary cannulation and sphincterotomy techniques at ERCP: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Clinical Guideline (2016, positive): “Summary of the evidence Papillary cannulation attempts have been shown to be an independent predictor of PEP when they are repeated more than 5 times or for 5 minutes [5,7,9 – 13].”
• Adverse events associated with ERCP. (2017, background): “Chronic pancreatitis has been demonstrated to be protective against PEP, possibly because of decreased enzymatic exocrine function and pancreatic atrophy.(13) The presence of pancreas divisum is not an independent risk”
• Prophylaxis of post-ERCP pancreatitis: European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guideline – Updated June 2014 (2014, methodology): “The risk of PEP is higher after multiple attempts at duct cannulation [6, 21,115,116].”
• The role of endoscopy in the evaluation of suspected choledocholithiasis. (2010, background): “ERC: Because the risk of adverse events is higher with ERC than with noninvasive biliary imaging studies or EUS, the use of ERC as a diagnostic modality is best suited for those patients at high risk of choledocholithiasis because they are most likely to benefit from the therapeutic capability of ER”
