Procedural time of day: A predictor of ERCP outcomes?

Conclusion Based on this large, retrospective study, it appears there are no significant differences between am and pm ERCP AE rates and procedural success rates. Future studies should investigate the impact time of day has on endoscopic procedural outcomes in other practice settings, where scheduling practices, use of anesthesia support, endoscopist experience, and safeguards to minimize endoscopist fatigue may be different.
