Twenty-three thousand six-hundred sixty-one patients were identified in the NIS database who were admitted for cholangitis who required ERCP in the study period, of which 18,106 (76.5%) patients were admitted on the weekday, whereas 5,555 (23.5%) were admitted on the weekend. By 24 h, the weekday group had undergone ERCP more frequently than the weekend group (...Continue Reading
