Résumé
Background
Frailty is increasingly considered when evaluating surgical risk in older adults. However, evidence regarding whether frailty contributes to the risk of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis in elderly patients is limited.
Objective
We aimed to evaluate whether preoperative frailty was associated with the development of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) in elderly patients undergoing ERCP.
