Understanding factors affecting outcomes after ERCP procedures
Official title: Evaluation of Multi-level factors Associated with post-ERCP Outcomes
Funded at Ut Southwestern Medical Center · NIH-10992180 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at what affects how well people recover and the costs they face after having a procedure called ERCP, which helps diagnose and treat digestive issues, so that we can improve care and make healthcare more efficient for everyone.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are individuals scheduled to undergo ERCP procedures, particularly those with digestive system disorders.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who have already undergone ERCP or those with unrelated digestive conditions may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research investigates the various factors that influence patient outcomes following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions of the digestive system. The project aims to analyze complex datasets to identify patient, provider, and healthcare system variables that impact recovery and healthcare costs. By developing a prospective patient cohort, the research seeks to provide insights into variations in healthcare utilization and expenditures related to ERCP across the United States. The findings could help improve patient care and inform healthcare policies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved patient outcomes and more efficient healthcare practices following ERCP procedures.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has shown success in identifying factors affecting outcomes in similar gastrointestinal procedures, suggesting that this approach could yield valuable insights.
