TL;DR: The rate of complications after endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy can vary widely in different circumstances and is primarily related to the indication for the procedure and to endoscopic technique, rather than to the age or general medical condition of the patients.

Abstract: Background Endoscopic sphincterotomy is commonly used to remove bile-duct stones and to treat other problems. We prospectively investigated risk factors for complications of this procedure and their outcomes. Methods We studied complications that occurred within 30 days of endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy in consecutive patients treated at 17 institutions in the United States and Canada from 1992 through 1994. Results Of 2347 patients, 229 (9.8 percent) had a complication, including pancreatitis in 127 (5.4 percent) and hemorrhage in 48 (2.0 percent). There were 55 deaths from all causes within 30 days; death was directly or indirectly related to the procedure in 10 cases. Of five significant risk factors for complications identified in a multivariate analysis, two were characteristics of the patients (suspected dysfunction of the sphincter of Oddi as an indication for the procedure and the presence of cirrhosis) and three were related to the endoscopic technique (difficulty in cannulating the bile duct,...

TL;DR: Describing these deviations from the plan as ‘‘unplanned events’’ fits nicely and is perhaps better avoided.

TL;DR: Combinations of patient characteristics including female gender, normal serum bilirubin, recurrent abdominal pain, and previous post-ERCP pancreatitis placed patients at increasingly higher risk of pancreatitis, regardless of whether ERCP was diagnostic, manometric, or therapeutic.

Transection of the oesophagus for bleeding oesophageal varices
TL;DR: Emergency ligation of bleeding oesophageal varices using the Milnes Walker technique was performed in 38 patients, and in patients with good preoperative liver function this rose to 71% and the simple scoring system for grading the severity of disturbance of liver function was found to be of value in predicting the outcome of surgery.

The risk of determining risk with multivariable models.
TL;DR: The purpose in the current research was to note the frequency with which multivariable analyses now appear in general medical journals, to identify some common problems and desirable precautions in the analyses, and to determine how well the challenges are being met.

Best subsets logistic regression
TL;DR: The purpose of this note is to illustrate that for one of the more frequently used nonnormal regression models, logistic regression, one may perform the Lawless-Singhal analysis with any best subsets linear regression program that allows for case weights.
