Analysis of 2634 Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Sphincterotomy for Lithotomy(EST-L)
Objectives This study aims to analyze the distribution and disease composition of patients undergoing endoscopic sphincterotomy for lithotomy in a Grade-A tertiary hospital,so as to provide basic data support for the development of Gastroenterology.Methods A total of 2634 front pages of inpatient medical records who underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy for lithotomy in a Grade-A tertiary hospital from January 1,2011 to December 31,2020 were collected.Descriptive analysis was performed on the information of the patients,such as gender,age,main diagnosis,and discharge method.Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis were used to analyze the number of inpatients and the average length of stay.Results The number of operations was on the rise from 2011 to 2020.There were more male patients than female patients.Patients over 70 years old had the largest number,accounting for 34.89%of all patients.The main diseases treated by this operation were choledocholithiasis(38.76%)and choledocholithiasis with acute cholangitis(23.50%).The average length of hospital stay decreased from 15.06 days to 10.48 days,and the average length of hospital stay after surgery decreased from 8.13 days to 5.50 days.Conclusions The majority of patients undergoing endoscopic sphincterotomy for lithotomy in this Grade-A tertiary hospital are elderly patients.In the past decade,the disease composition has changed significantly,the complexity of treatment has gradually increased,and the diagnosis and treatment efficiency has been greatly improved.Hospitals can adjust the allocation of medical resources in departments according to the above changes to provide a data basis for targeted clinical department management and key personnel training and improve the efficiency of medical services to a certain extent.
