Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

The incidence of pancreatitis in patients undergoing ERCP is approximately 3%.

The mortality for ERCP-associated pancreatitis is 20%. This compares unfavourably with the general population of acute pancreatitis patients and may be because:

  • patients undergoing ERCP are often elderly
  • patients are often jaundiced
