Endoscopic nasobiliary drainage significantly reduces the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis compared to biliary stent placement.
Before matching, pancreatitis occurred in 2.6% of the ENBD group versus 8.5% in the ERBD group, demonstrating a clear benefit.
Propensity score matching balanced patient characteristics, allowing for an accurate comparison of outcomes between both drainage methods.
Subgroup analysis indicates that multiple stones are a risk factor for pancreatitis, stressing the need for tailored approaches.
