Abstract:
The aim of this study was to assess whether sex, age, ASA grade, previous history of acute pancreatitis, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, hypercalcaemia, kidney disease and liver cirrhosis influence the risk for developing post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP). A total of 15 800 ERCP procedures retrieved from the Swedish National Quality Register for Gallstone Surgery and ERCP (GallRiks) for 2006-2014 were identified and cross-checked with the National Patient Register. Women, patients aged less than 65 years, patients with hyperlipidaemia and those with a previous history of acute pancreatitis had a significantly increased risk of PEP, whereas patients with diabetes had a significantly decreased risk. Risk of pancreatitis following ERCP.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
