Abstract:
Objective To analyze the safety and tolerability of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ( ERCP) for elderly pa-tients in diagnose and therapy. Methods From Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2013, 1 560 patients were collected in our hospital for diagnosis and treatment, 1 116 cases were 60~69 years old, and the other 444 cases were over 70 years old. Retrospective data including clinical and bio-chemical characteristics, ERCP diagnosis and complications were analyzed. Results Using Logistic regression, the potential factors of com-plex multivariable were analyzed, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P=0. 039). The successful intubation, in-tubation difficulties and failed intubation in the examination and the treatment were of significantly difference between the two groups (P<0. 05). There were no significant difference between the two groups in common bile duct stones of bile duct obstruction and clinical di-agnosis (P>0. 05), but the ERCP diagnosis, postoperative complications and complications of acute pancreatitis were of certain difference (P<0. 05). Patients over 70 years old were of better tolerance, but their bile duct stones was about two times than that in patients of 60~69 years old (P=0. 004). Conclusion The results show that ERCP for elderly patients in diagnose and therapy is safe and well tolerated, and there were relatively less complications in patients over 70 years old.
