Core Tip Recurrence patterns after symptomatic gallstone disease in elderly patients is scarce. This multicenter study showed that patients ≥ 80 years who were managed conservatively after the index admission followed a distinct clinical course. Although the elderly patients experienced less frequent recurrences, they did experience multiple episodes more frequently that tended to occur later and be more severe. Prior endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with sphincterotomy was associated with a reduced risk of recurrence. These findings provided novel age-specific data to improve risk stratification that can tailor management strategies in this growing population.
