Abstract

The diagnostic value of selective pancreatic angiography and retrograde pancreatic cholangiography used in combination was studied in 24 patients with chronic pancreatitis or pancreatico-duodenal carcinomas. This was done as a prospective study. The accuracy of the individual methods is 75% and 79% respectively; used in combination, a correct diagnosis is obtained in 91% of cases. The advantage of combining the techniques depends on the fact that they supplement each other.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 24 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
