Abstract

The use of antibiotic prophylaxis in hospitalizations with PSC was correlated with a significant reduction in the odds of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Antibiotic prophylaxis did not improve the odds of post-ERCP sepsis or cholangitis. Prophylactic use of antibiotics should be individualized, considering both their anti-infective benefits and potential impact on the biochemical markers of liver disease.
