Introduction: Pancreatitis is the most prevalent serious complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Different approaches have been suggested to prevent or reduce this complication. Recent studies have compared the utility of aggressive intravenous fluid hydration (IVF) with standard hydration or placebo. Limited studies investigated the use of aggressive IVF versus non-steroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the benefit of aggressive IVF in preventing PEP.
Methods: A literature search was performed using Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases in February 2021. Studies included in our meta-analysis involved adults patients undergoing ERCP who received aggressive IVF. Analysis was conducted using the Mantel-Haenszel model using the odds ratio (OR) to assess the rate of PEP. The results were pooled together using Reviewer Manager 5.4 software, and heterogeneity was quantified using I2 statistics.
Results: Sixteen randomized-controlled clinical trials involving 4344 patients were included in the final analysis. Included studies were rated as moderate quality using the Jadad Scale. Aggressive IVF demonstrated significant benefit over standard hydration or placebo in preventing PEP (OR 0.44, 95% CI [0.31, 0.63], P< 0.00001, I2= 30%). However, the rate of PEP was similar in the aggressive IVF and NSAIDs groups (OR 0.76, 95% CI [0.32, 1.84], P= 0.55). Combining aggressive IVF with NSAIDs did not demonstrate any benefit in preventing PEP compared to NSAIDs alone (OR 0.57, 95% CI [0.23, 1.40], P= 0.22).
Discussion: The use of aggressive IVF provides a benefit over standard hydration in preventing PEP. Aggressive IVF use alone or in combination with NSAIDs failed to demonstrate any benefit over NSAIDs alone in preventing PEP.
