The ability to predict the occurrence of such an event, particularly by utilizing absolute values and ratio dynamics of the emergency blood tests, constitutes the primary step in effectively managing a patient with a complex pathology. The study involved 134 patients who performed ERCP to extract choledochal lithiasis (n = 48 with PEP and n = 86 without PEP). The results revealed increased risks of post-ERCP pancreatitis in women and lower risks in those who benefited from manipulation of the main bile duct with the Dormia probe and dilatation balloon (OR: 2.893 CI 95%: 1.371\u20136.105, p = 0.005 and respectively OR: 0.346 CI 95%: 0.156\u20130.765, p = 0.009), without biliary stent placement. Moreover, the results brought novel elements to the literature, showing that higher values of CRPR (OR: 4.337 CI 95%: 1.945\u20139.668; p &lt; 0.001), TBIR (4.004 CI 95%: 1.664\u20139.634; p = 0.002) and NLR post-ERCP (3.281 CI 95%: 1.490\u20137.221; p = 0.003) are predictive for PEP. Nevertheless, lower total bilirubin levels upon admission are predictive of PEP with an OR of 5.262 (95% confidence interval: 2.111\u201313.113, p &lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm13091356","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]],"date-time":"2023-09-05T09:46:20Z","timestamp":1693907180000},"page":"1356","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Predictors of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis (P.E.P.) in Choledochal Lithiasis Extraction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Adrian","family":"Boicean","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Victoria","family":"Birlutiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristian","family":"Ichim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samuel B.","family":"Todor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrian","family":"Hasegan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0029-7591","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ciprian","family":"Bacila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adelaida","family":"Solomon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrian","family":"Cristian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Horatiu","family":"Dura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"260","DOI":"10.4253\/wjge.v13.i8.260","article-title":"Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: Current practice and future research","volume":"13","author":"Sanders","year":"2021","journal-title":"World J.
