Observational analysis reveals bilirubin levels predict outcomes in extrahepatic biliary obstruction, indicating potential interventions.
Failure to achieve ≥ 50% fall by day 7 predicts reintervention, while inability to reach bilirubin < 3 mg/dL by day 15 predicts mortality. Bilirubin kinetics following EBD serve as reliable indicators of drainage adequacy and short-term prognosis in EHBO.
