This study assessed whether cholecystectomy can decrease recurrent cholangitis and all-cause mortality in patients who received endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy and successful clearance of bile duct (BD) stones after gallstone-related cholangitis.
We analyzed data from the National Health Insurance research database of Taiwan. Patients who had gallstone-related cholangitis and underwent successful endoscopic clearance of BD stones were eligible for enrollment. This population-based, propensity score (PS)-matched cohort study involved 2 cohorts; (1) patients who underwent cholecystectomy after ERCP with BD stone clearance as the study group; and (2) those who had no cholecystectomy after ERCP with BD stone clearance as the control group. The primary endpoint was recurrent cholangitis, and the secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality.
During a mean 5.7-year follow-up, the incidence rates of recurrent cholangitis were 20.47 per 1000 person-years in the cholecystectomy cohort, and 34.60 per 1000 person-years in the PS-matched control cohort. The risk of recurrent cholangitis was significantly lower in the cholecystectomy cohort than in the control cohort (HR, 0.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.45-0.87; P = 0.006). The HR for all cause mortality among the cholecystectomy cohort was 0.70 (95% CI, 0.54-0.90; P = 0.006) compared with the control cohort.

本研究评估了在胆石性胆管炎后接受内镜逆行胰胆管造影(ERCP)和括约肌切开术并成功清除胆管(BD)结石的患者中,胆囊切除术是否可以降低复发性胆管炎和全因死亡率。
我们分析了来自中国台湾地区全民健康保险研究数据库的数据。符合纳入标准的患者为患有胆石性胆管炎并经内镜成功清除 BD 结石。这项基于人群的倾向评分(PS)匹配队列研究涉及两个队列;(1)ERCP 后行胆囊切除术且 BD 结石清除的患者为研究组;(2)ERCP 后未行胆囊切除术且 BD 结石清除的患者为对照组。主要终点是复发性胆管炎,次要终点是全因死亡率。
在平均 5.7 年的随访期间,胆囊切除术组的复发性胆管炎发生率为每 1000 人年 20.47 例,而 PS 匹配对照组的发生率为每 1000 人年 34.60 例。胆囊切除术组的复发性胆管炎风险明显低于对照组(HR,0.62;95%置信区间[CI],0.45-0.87;P=0.006)。与对照组相比,胆囊切除术组的全因死亡率 HR 为 0.70(95%CI,0.54-0.90;P=0.006)。
在胆石性胆管炎后接受内镜括约肌切开术和成功清除 BD 结石的患者中,胆囊切除术降低了复发性胆管炎和全因死亡率。
