Pathak SJ, Avila P, Dai SC, Arain MA, Perito ER, Kouanda A. Index admission cholecystectomy for biliary acute pancreatitis or choledocholithiasis reduces 30-day readmission rates in children. Surg Endosc 2024; 38:2649-2656. [PMID: 38503905 PMCID: PMC11078817 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-024-10790-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult patients with biliary acute pancreatitis (BAP) or choledocholithiasis who do not undergo cholecystectomy on index admission have worse outcomes. Given the paucity of data on the impact of cholecystectomy during index hospitalization in children, we examined readmission rates among pediatric patients with BAP or choledocholithiasis who underwent index cholecystectomy versus those who did not. METHODS Retrospective study of children (< 18 years old) admitted with BAP, without infection or necrosis (ICD-10 K85.10), or choledocholithiasis (K80.3x-K80.7x) using the 2018 National Readmission Database (NRD). Exclusion criteria were necrotizing pancreatitis with or without infected necrosis and death during index admission. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with 30-day readmission. RESULTS In 2018, 1122 children were admitted for index BAP (n = 377, 33.6%) or choledocholithiasis (n = 745, 66.4%). Mean age at admission was 13 (SD 4.2) years; most patients were female (n = 792, 70.6%). Index cholecystectomy was performed in 663 (59.1%) of cases. Thirty-day readmission rate was 10.9% in patients who underwent cholecystectomy during that index admission and 48.8% in those who did not (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, patients who underwent index cholecystectomy had lower odds of 30-day readmission than those who did not (OR 0.16, 95% CI 0.11-0.24, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Index cholecystectomy was performed in only 59% of pediatric patients admitted with BAP or choledocholithiasis but was associated with 84% decreased odds of readmission within 30 days. Current guidelines should be updated to reflect these findings, and future studies should evaluate barriers to index cholecystectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delayed cholecystectomy in patients with symptomatic gallstone disease is associated with recurrence. Limited data on the recurrence patterns and the factors that determine them are available. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the pattern of relapse in each symptomatic gallstone disease (acute pancreatitis, cholecystitis, cholangitis, symptomatic choledocholithiasis, and biliary colic) and determine the associated factors. METHODS RELAPSTONE was an international multicenter retrospective cohort study. Patients (n = 3016) from 18 tertiary centers who suffered a first episode of symptomatic gallstone disease from 2018 to 2020 and had not undergone cholecystectomy during admission were included. The main outcome was relapse-free survival. Kaplan-Meier curves were used in the bivariate analysis. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to identify prognostic factors associated with relapses. RESULTS Mean age was 76.6 [IQR: 59.7-84.1], and 51% were male. The median follow-up was 5.3 months [IQR 2.1-12.4]. Relapse-free survival was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.77-0.80) at 3 months, 0.71 (95% CI: 0.69-0.73) at 6 months, and 0.63 (95% CI: 0.61-0.65) at 12 months. In multivariable analysis, older age (HR = 0.57; 95% CI: 0.49-0.66), sphincterotomy (HR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.49-0.68) and higher leukocyte count (HR = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.70-0.90) were independently associated with lower risk of relapse, whereas higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (HR = 1.22; 95% CI: 1.02-1.46) and multiple cholelithiasis (HR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.05-1.34) were associated with higher relapse rates. CONCLUSION The relapse rate is high and different in each symptomatic gallstone disease. Our independent predictors could be useful for prioritizing patients on the waiting list for cholecystectomies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gallstone disease will affect 15% of the adult population with concomitant common bile duct stone (CBDS) occurring in up to 30%. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the mainstay of management for removal of CBDS, as cholecystectomy for the prevention of recurrent biliary event (RBE). RBE occurs in up to 47% if cholecystectomy is not done. The goal of this study was to evaluate the timing of occurrence of RBE after common bile duct clearance with ERCP and associated outcomes. METHODS The records of all patients who underwent ERCP for gallstone disease followed by cholecystectomy, in a single center from 2010 to 2022, were reviewed. All RBE were identified. Actuarial incidence of RBE was built. Patients with and without RBE were compared. RESULTS The study population is composed of 529 patients. Mean age was 58.0 (18-95). There were 221 RBE in 151 patients (28.5%), 39/151 (25.8%) having more than one episode. The most frequent RBE was acute cholecystitis (n = 104) followed by recurrent CBDS (n = 95). Median time for first RBE was 34 days. Actuarial incidence of RBE started from 2.5% at 7 days to reach 53.3% at 1 year. Incidence-rate of RBE was 2.9 per 100 person-months. Patients with RBE had significant longer hospitalisation time (11.7 vs 6.4 days; P < 0.0001), longer operative time (66 vs 48 min; P < 0.0001), longer postoperative stay (2.9 vs 0.9 days; P < 0.0001), higher open surgery rate (7.9% vs 1.3%; P < 0.0001), and more complicated pathology (23.8% vs 5.8%; P < 0.0001) and cholecystitis (64.2% vs 25.9%; P < 0.0001) as final diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS RBE occurred in 28.5% of the subjects at a median time of 34 days, with an incidence of 2.5% as early as 1 week. Cholecystectomy should be done preferably within 7 days after common bile duct clearance in order to prevent RBE and adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recurrence of common bile duct stones and other biliary events after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is frequent. Despite recommendations for early cholecystectomy, intervention during the same admission is carried out inconsistently. METHODS We reviewed the records of patients who underwent ERCP for gallstone disease and common bile duct clearance followed by cholecystectomy between July 2012 and June 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups: the index group underwent cholecystectomy during the same admission and the delayed group was discharged and had their cholecystectomy postponed. Data on demographics and prognosis factors were collected and analyzed. RESULTS The study population was composed of 268 patients, with 71 (26.6%) having undergone cholecystectomy during the same admission after common bile duct clearance with ERCP. A greater proportion of patients aged 80 years and older were in the index group than in the delayed group. The American Society of Anesthesiologists score was significantly higher in the index group. There was no significant difference between groups regarding surgical complications, open cholecystectomy and death. The operative time was significantly longer in the delayed group. Among patients with delayed cholecystectomy, 18.3% had at least 1 recurrence of common bile duct stones (CBDS) and 38.6% had recurrence of any gallstone-related events before cholecystectomy. None of these events occurred in the the index group. There was no difference in the recurrence of CBDS and other biliary events after initial diagnosis associated with stone disease. CONCLUSION Cholecystectomy during the same admission after common bile duct clearance is safe, even in older adults with comorbidities. Compared with delayed cholecystectomy, it was not associated with adverse outcomes and may have prevented recurrence of biliary events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Drug-induced acute pancreatitis (DIAP) linked to several medications is a diagnosis of exclusion and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, contributing to the US healthcare cost burden. Existing studies on DIAP focus on the drug classes that can cause acute pancreatitis. Hence, our retrospective study aims to determine the rates and predictors for 30-day readmissions (30-DR) in patients with index hospitalization for DIAP. METHODS From the Nationwide Readmissions Database, we followed adults admitted for DIAP who were discharged alive for 30 days. During 30-DR, we evaluated the rates, predictors, and outcomes of DIAP. RESULTS Of the 4457 DIAP patients surviving at discharge, 12.5% were readmitted at 30 days. During readmissions, the predictors of 30-DR for DIAP were young age, the Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index of 2 and 3, protein-energy malnutrition, and dyslipidemia. During 30-DR, DIAP had a higher mortality rate (2.4% vs. 0.7%; P < 0.020), extended hospital stays (5.6 days vs. 4 days, 0.000), and higher hospital charges ($12 983.6 vs. $8 255.6; P 0.000). CONCLUSIONS DIAP has high 30-DR rates and poorer outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a lack of published data on variations in practices concerning laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The purpose of this study was to capture variations in practices on a range of preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative aspects of this procedure. METHODS A 45-item electronic survey was designed to capture global variations in practices concerning laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and disseminated through professional surgical and training organisations and social media. RESULTS 638 surgeons from 70 countries completed the survey. Pre-operatively only 5.6% routinely perform an endoscopy to rule out peptic ulcer disease. In the presence of preoperatively diagnosed common bile duct (CBD) stones, 85.4% (n = 545) of the surgeons would recommend an Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP) before surgery, while only 10.8% (n = 69) of the surgeons would perform a CBD exploration with cholecystectomy. In patients presenting with gallstone pancreatitis, 61.2% (n = 389) of the surgeons perform cholecystectomy during the same admission once pancreatitis has settled down. Approximately, 57% (n = 363) would always administer prophylactic antibiotics and 70% (n = 444) do not routinely use pharmacological DVT prophylaxis preoperatively. Open juxta umbilical is the preferred method of pneumoperitoneum for most patients used by 64.6% of surgeons (n = 410) but in patients with advanced obesity (BMI > 35 kg/m2, only 42% (n = 268) would use this technique and only 32% (n = 203) would use this technique if the patient has had a previous laparotomy. Most surgeons (57.7%; n = 369) prefer blunt ports. Liga clips and Hem-o-loks® were used by 66% (n = 419) and 30% (n = 186) surgeons respectively for controlling cystic duct and (n = 477) 75% and (n = 125) 20% respectively for controlling cystic artery. Almost all (97.4%) surgeons felt it was important or very important to remove stones from Hartmann's pouch if the surgeon is unable to perform a total cholecystectomy. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights significant variations in practices concerning various aspects of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Guidelines call for cholecystectomy during the index hospitalization for patients with gallstone pancreatitis. Therefore, the study sought to determine the trends for cholecystectomy and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for mild gallstone pancreatitis. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the 2010-2018 Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD) was performed to identify patients with mild gallstone pancreatitis. The primary aim was to identify the trends in the use of cholecystectomy in these patients, and the secondary aim was to assess if ERCP alone was protective against readmission. RESULTS A total of 510,470 patients with mild gallstone pancreatitis were identified. There has been an increasing trend in ERCP use (25% in 2018 vs. 22% in 2010; p-0.001) and a decline in cholecystectomy (37% in 2018 vs. 46% in 2010; p-0.001) prior to discharge. Multivariate analysis revealed higher 30-day readmission for patients who underwent ERCP without cholecystectomy (odds ratio1.3; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-3.5) during the index admission. CONCLUSIONS There has been a decline in the use of cholecystectomy during index hospitalization for mild gallstone pancreatitis. In addition, ERCP was not protective against 30-day readmission from mild gallstone pancreatitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Most acute pancreatitis are of biliary origin and undergoing a cholecystectomy is recommended to prevent recurrence. However, some patients will never be referred to surgery. We reviewed the long-term follow-up of these group of patients Methods All cases of biliary pancreatitis presented from January 2015 to December 2017 that did not receive a cholecystectomy were analyzed. Epidemiologic data and Charlson comorbidity Index (CCI) were recorded. Recurrent episodes of pancreatitis or biliary events and mortality during the follow-up period was recorded. Results A total of 104 patients were included in the study (30.4% of all biliary pancreatitis). Median age was 82 years (range 27-96). Average CCI was 5 (range 0-18). The median follow-up period was 37 months (range 1-70). A total of 41 patients (39.4%) had gallstone-related complications. Twenty-three patients (22,1%) had recurrent pancreatitis and 34 (32,7%) developed biliary events. Decease occurred in 25 patients during follow-up (24%) but only 6 (5,8%) were due to gallstone-related complications. Non-related mortality was 15.5% in patients who refused surgery and 25% if high comorbidity patients. CONCLUSION Patients that are not cholecystectomized are at high risk for biliary event and pancreatitis recurrence. Conservative treatment and surgical abstention should be individualized and reserved to high comorbid patients with short life expectancy.
