170 factors predictive of resolution for pancreatic fluid collections: a multicenter international collaborative study.

Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) are a frequent complication of pancreatitis. Endoscopic drainage is the gold standard choice of drainage. Concurrent therapies, such as pancreatic duct (PD) exploration with ERCP and enteral feeding beyond the ligament of Treitz, are likely important cofactors for PFC resolution. The aim of this study is to identify predictors of resolution of symptomatic PFCs.
