Brief Summary

Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common complication after ERCP, which was associated with occasional mortality, prolonged hospital days and increased health costs. Some studies investigated the effectiveness of different Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for prevent PEP. However, several high-quality RCTs and meta-analyses consistently demonstrated only100mg rectal indomethacin or diclofenac significantly reduced PEP incidence compared with placebos. Thus, European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Japanese Society of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic surgery guidelines recommended rountine administration of 100mg rectal indomethacin or diclofenac in unselected patients who underwent ERCP.

Up to date, the mechanisms of NSAIDs in preventing pancreatitis were not fully elucidated. Diclofenac and Indomethacin showed similar inhibitory effects in phospholipase A2 and cyclooxygenase pathways. And the peak concentration of diclofenac and indomethacin both occurs between 30 and 90 min after rectal administration. However, diclofenac may be a stronger inhibitor of other pancreatitis-related imflammatory siginals (e.g. nuclear factor kappa-B) than indomethacin. Recently, several meta-analyses found 100mg rectal diclofenac to be more efficacious than 100mg rectal indomethacin. Despite these data, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that rectal diclofenac could provide incremental benefits over indomethacin from high-quality randomized, controlled trials. Therefore, the investigators conducted a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of rectal diclofenac versus indomethacin for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis in average-risk patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of post-ERCP Pancreatitis30 days

The diagnosis of post-ERCP pancreatitis was confirmed if there was new onset of upper abdominal pain associated with an increased amylase or lipase level of at least 3 times the upper limit of normal range at 24 hours after ERCP, accompanied with extension of hospitalization for at least 2 nights.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of Overall ERCP-related complications30 days

ERCP-related complications include post-ERCP pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation or infection according to Cotton Criteria.

Rate of patients with different severity of pancreatitis evaluated by revised Atlanta criteria30 days
Rate of moderate or severe PEP30 days

The severity classification of post-ERCP pancreatitis was defined according to the Cotton Criteria. Mild PEP: with an extension of hospitalization period of 2-3 days; Moderate PEP: with an extension of hospitalization period of 4-10 days; Severe PEP: with an extension of more than 10 days, or hemorrhagic pancreatitis, phlegmon, or pseudocyst, intervention (percutaneous drainage or surgery), or death.

Rate of NSAIDs-related complications30 days

NSAIDs-related complications include: acute kidney injury, allergic reaction, gastrointestinal bleeding, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and death
