Abstract
pancreatitis OR 1,1. ERCP diagnosis of SOD was more prevalant in elderly with post ERCP pancreatitis compared to without pancreatitis (14,3% vs 3,8% respectively, p 0,05) When prognosis of patients evaluated patients with post ERCP pancreatitis at 7th decade had higher Ranson (median 2) and APACHE II scores (median 6) then other decades. However the post ERCP pancreatitis related complications and mortality ratio were similar in patients 65 or younger. Conclusions: This is one of the largest series evaluating the rate and risk factors for post ERCP pancreatitis in elderly. We found that risk of post ERCP pancreatitis does not increase with age. Female gender is the most important risk factor for post ERCP pancreatitis in elderly. JPD and SOD also slightly increases the risk of post ERCP pancreatitis in elderly. Altough risk of post ERCP pancreatitis does not increase with age, its severity detected with Ranson and APACHE II scores were higher in elderly.
