Trends in the timing of inpatient ERCP relative to cholecystectomy: a nationwide database studied longitudinally

ERCP has largely replaced common bile duct exploration for therapy of common bile duct pathology, yet its use as a purely diagnostic test has declined. Among inpatients, we hypothesized that timing between ERCP and cholecystectomy (CCY) have changed. The objectives were to measure temporal trends in the timing between inpatient ERCP and CCY, and to examine factors associated with delays.
