BACKGROUND: The Tokyo Guidelines have greatly impacted the management of ascending cholangitis. Though ERCP is the favored modality for biliary decompression, no evidence exists for the timing of ERCP. The DEIM-I study set out to determine if the time from patient presentation to biliary decompression impacted in hospital all cause mortality in ascending cholangitis. METHOD: DEIM-I cohort study was a single-blinded and consisted of 250 subjects with moderate to severe ascending cholangitis who underwent ERCP/PBD. Subjects were randomized into quartiles based upon time from presentation until ERCP/PBD. The primary outcome utilized logistic regression to estimate relative risk (RR) of all cause, in hospital mortality with time to procedure as the predictive covariate. Secondary outcomes were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression and included; multiple organ failure (MOF), sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), surgical incidence, hospital readmission and length of stay (LOS). RESULTS: The risk for hospital mortality was significantly less when biliary drainage was performed within 11 h, compared to >42 h (RR 0.34, 95%CI 0.12 to 0.99, p=0.049). Hospital readmission was lower in subjects who underwent biliary decompression less than 11 h, when compared to those greater than 22 h. Subjects who underwent biliary decompression within 21 h had significant higher risk for surgery compared to those 22-42 h. CONCLUSION: The relative risk of all cause in hospital mortality was lower in subjects who underwent biliary decompression in under 11 h compared to greater than 42 h.
