Core Tip	Concurrent acute cholangitis (AC) and acute biliary pancreatitis resulted in significantly higher white cell count (WBC) counts and abnormal WBC counts, suggesting a more intense inflammatory response. However, liver biochemical indices, AC severity, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography success or adverse events, and primary and secondary outcome measures did not differ significantly between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that age and cardiovascular dysfunction were independent factors for intensive care unit admission. Therefore, the presence of acute biliary pancreatitis in patients with AC does not appear to have a significant impact on intensive care unit admission rates or other major clinical outcomes.
