Core Tip Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography biliary infection is a significant risk in malignant obstruction. Current risk models are incomplete, omitting critical factors like drainage adequacy (hepatic volume decompressed) and inflammatory biomarkers. Comprehensive models are essential for accurate postoperative biliary infection risk prediction and better clinical outcomes.
