Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, outcomes and performance characteristics of multiple biliary sampling techniques including but not limited to: single operator cholangioscopy (SOC) directed biopsies, transpapillary biliary biopsies (TPBx), brushings and bile aspiration for cytology and FISH in patients undergoing ERCP.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Performance Characteristics1 year after ERCP procedureAccuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity for the detection of malignancy with each sampling technique. Accuracy was calculated as \[(true positives + true negatives)/ (true positives + true negatives + false positives + false negatives)\] x100 and reported as a percentage. Sensitivity was calculated as \[true positive/(true positive + false negative)\] x100 and reported as a percentage. Specificity was calculated as \[true negatives/(true negatives +false positives)\] x100 and reported as a percentage.
Number of Adverse EventsWithin 30 days of ERCP procedureAdverse events after biliary sampling
Positive and Negative Predictive Value1 year after ERCP procedurePositive Predictive Value calculated as number of true positives divided by the sum of true positives and false positives, expressed as a percentage. Negative predictive value calculated as the number of true negatives divided by the sum of true negatives and false negatives, expressed as a percentage.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Healthcare Utilizationthrough study completion, an average of 2 yearsNumber of ERCPs, Radiological studies etc needed before accurate diagnosis
