The application of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the octogenarian population is limited. The aim of the study was to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of ERCP in octogenarian patients with non-octogenarian elderly patients.A total of 1044 patients who underwent ERCP for the first time and are over the age of 65 were enrolled in this study. Data regarding demographic characteristics, medical history of patients, indications, technical success rate, final clinical diagnosis and complications were analyzed. 284 patients and 760 patients composed the octogenarian and non-octogenarian group, respectively.The mean ages in octogenarian and non-octogenarian groups were 83.99±3.85 and 71.50±4.27 years of age respectively. Both groups had similar values with regards to chronic concomitant diseases (96.6% vs. 96.5%). The most common indication of ERCP in the two groups was common bile duct stones. There was no significant difference in technical success and failure of cannulation in procedures of either group (p0,05). The duration of overall ERCP procedure was shorter in length in the non-octogenarian group in comparison to the octogenarian group (p = 0.004). The overall complication rate was similar in both groups (p0.177). The most common complication in either group was post-ERCP pancreatitis.ERCP is an effective and safe procedure in both octogenarian and non-octogenarian patients with naive papilla when performed by experienced endoscopists. |
