About this study

Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is advanced endoscopic technique that allows minimally invasive management of biliary and pancreatic disorders. However, the incidence of infectious complication of ERCP is considerable. Transient blood stream infection after ERCP has been reported in a high ratio, up to 27% and post-ERCP infection accounts for about 10% of the major complications associated with mortality.

Although prophylactic use of antibiotics is generally not recommend in all cases, debates about the prophylactic use of antibiotics continues and prophylactic use of antibiotics is recommend in case of ERCP that incomplete biliary drainage is expected.

In this study, researchers will use prophylactic antibiotics in patients with biliary obstruction who have high-risk of post-ERCP bacteremia. Antibiotics regimen is selected based on the data of our institution, and administered to patients before ERCP procedure.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pacetin® (cefoxitin)Biological

    Also called Antibiotic prophylaxis

    1~2g of Cefoxitin (2nd generation cephalosporin) is administered to patients 30 minutes Before ERCP procedure. Cefoxitin is mixed with 10ml of normal saline. Patients and caregivers can not distinguish antibiotics and placebo by naked eye.

  • PlaceboBiological

    Also called normal saline

    10ml of normal saline is injected to patients as placebo. Patients and caregivers can not distinguish antibiotics and placebo by naked eye.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of complication that related with infection.

    Measured: within 10 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Rate of post-ERCP cholangitis

    Measured: within 10 days

  2. Grade of post-ERCP infectious complication

    Grade of post-ERCP infectious complications based upon a consensus definition Mild : >38°C for 24-48 hr / Moderate : Febrile or septic illness requiring more than 3 days of hospital treatment or endoscopic or percutaneous intervention / Severe : Septic shock or surgery

    Measured: within 10 days
