Key Words Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography; Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage; Biliary obstruction; Distal biliary obstruction; Distal malignant biliary obstruction; Bilirubin normalization
Core Tip The bilirubin normalization is a key outcome in biliary drainage, especially in the malignant setting. However, despite its profound effect on clinical and oncological outcomes, the bilirubin normalization rate is generally underreported. Its systematic and standardized assessment should be strongly encouraged in future trials.
