Safety and efficacy of early feeding based on clinical assessment at 4 hours after ERCP: a prospective randomized controlled trial

The optimal timing of refeeding after ERCP is unknown. Some practices keep fasting for 24 hours after ERCP whereas others resume feeding earlier. We aimed to evaluate the risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) in patients who initiate early feeding based on their clinical assessment, including serum amylase testing, performed at 4 hours after ERCP.
