About this study

Official title: Comparing Addition of Gentamicin vs. Placebo in Preventing Post ERCP Cholangitis in Non-calculus Stenting

Cholangitis is the most prevalent infectious complication of ERCP. Stenting of biliary strictures and stenosis is one of important risk factors for post-ERCP cholangitis. Adding antibiotics to contrast media has proposed in some studies for prevention of cholangitis but remains controversial. In this study we compare effect of adding gentamicin versus placebo in preventing cholangitis in patients who undergone endoscopic stenting for non-calculus strictures and stenosis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Cholangitis

    After Endoscopic Retrograde CholangioPancreatography (ERCP) in 3 following days we check all participants for syptoms of cholangitis (fever, chills, right upper qudrant (RUQ) pain, leukocytosis) and ruling out other diagnoses than cholangitis

    Measured: 72 hours
