| Core Tip |
In pediatric patients with gallstones, biliary obstruction has been reported in up to 30% of patients with limited data to predict need for endoscopic retro?grade cholangiography for choledocholithiasis. In this single-center retrospective study we evaluated 44 consecutive pediatric patients and used the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guidelines for suspected choledocholithiasis. We found that the Very Strong and Strong criteria identified the majority of patients. Conjugated bilirubin was also identified as an important predictor. Current adult guidelines can be used in the majority of patients, but specific pediatric guidelines may improve detection, thus decreasing risks. |
