Los Angeles Prospective GI Biliary and EUS Series
Biliary DiseasePancreatitis1 moreEndoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic ultrasound are increasingly being used to manage complex disease of the bile duct, pancreas and cancer. Gastroenterology patients at the Los Angeles County Hospital presents a unique and diverse patient population. Our aim is to study the biochemical, radiographic, and clinical predictors of bile duct stones. Exploratory aims include the study of the management of cholangitis, bile leaks, GI cancer diagnosis and management, and the management of pancreaticobiliary problems in the underserved. All patients managed by EUS or ERCP at the LA County & USC University Hospitals will be enrolled in the databaseThe timing, clinical presentation, and objective details of patient presentation are recorded prospectively. Additionally the results of the subsequent ERCP and EUS procedures. Subsequent, clinical course and pathology will also be recorded.

Calgary Registry for Advanced and Therapeutic Endoscopy
Biliary DiseasePancreatic DiseasesThe aim of the Calgary Registry for Advanced and Therapeutic Endoscopy (CReATE) is to be a high-fidelity prospective multi-centre registry. The study population consists of consecutive adult ERCP patients from September 2018 to August 2022. Informed consent is acquired for each patient. All relevant pre-procedural, procedural, peri-procedural and post-procedural data are captured in real time by a full-time third-party research assistant directly observing procedures. Outcomes are ascertained by comprehensive medical record review and patient phone interview 30 days after the index procedure. This registry also serves as a secure data collection platform for several currently recruiting prospective studies and randomized trials.
If Chronic Gallbladder Diseases Increase the Incidence of PEC
CholecystitisThis is a prospective, multi-centre trial conducts at 4 ERCP centers in China designed to determine if chronic gallbladder diseases increase the incidence of Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Choledochopancreatography-Choledocholithiasis (PEC)
Pain and Nausea After Gallbladder Surgery
PONVPostoperative Pain2 moreThe study is primarily an exploratory study of quality registry data for a swedish national cohort of patients who have undergone gallbladder surgery or ERCP, with the aim of investigating the occurrence of pain and PONV (Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting) after gallbladder surgery. Furthermore, the investigators will explorer if there are factors related to the patient or the surgical procedure that are associated with a higher risk of PONV or pain.
Microbiology in Obstructive BIliary Disease
Biliary DiseasePatients admitted to hospital due to obstructive biliary disease secondary to benign and malign etiologies, undergoing ERCP, will be selected. Bile sample will be taken in ERCP procedure with sterile technique. Its macroscopic appearance will be assessed and biliary culture will be performed.
