Su1514 VALIDATION OF THE PREDICTORS OF CHOLEDOCHOLITHIASIS AND PROPOSED MANAGEMENT ALGORITHM FROM THE 2019 ASGE GUIDELINE "ROLE OF ENDOSCOPY IN THE EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CHOLEDOCHOLITHAISIS."

Choledocholithiasis (CDL) develops in up to 20% of individuals with symptomatic gallstones and is a major source of morbidity. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the gold standard procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of CDL but it carries a 5-15% risk of adverse events. Therefore, identifying patients likely to have bile duct stones is important prior to proceeding with ERCP. In 2010 the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) put forth guidelines to help risk stratify patients with suspected CDL most likely to benefit from ERCP, which were revised in 2019.
