“…7 Performance of SOD manometry does not increase the incidence of PEP, particularly when continuous aspiration or solid-state catheters are used. 7,[10][11][12] Other patient-related risk factors include prior PEP, female sex, younger patient age, normal serum bilirubin levels, and history of acute recurrent pancreatitis. 7,8,10,[13][14][15] A recent, retrospective, matched-cohort study from the National Inpatient Sample suggested that pregnancy is an independent risk factor for PEP 16 (12% vs 5%; P < .001), with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 2.8 (95% CI, 2.1-3.8), although this has not been noted in other studies.…”
