Natural Progression of Biochemical Markers of Biliary Tract Obstruction in Patients with Gallstone Pancreatitis
Figure 2
Stratification of admission bilirubin levels based on likelihood of ampullary obstruction. Bilirubin levels <2.4 mg/dL (unlikely), bilirubin levels 2.4–5 mg/dL (possible), bilirubin levels >5 mg/dL (likely). Depicted as percentage contribution of each category in each group. No differences were noted between patients in the Decrescendo group compared to the Crescendo-Decrescendo group ().
