Abstract
Background
Early diagnosis of common bile duct stone (CBDS) is crucial since its presence affects surgical therapy and acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) has a comparable clinical picture whether or not a CBDS is present.
Aim
At the time of hospital admission, we sought to discover predictors of CBD stones in acute cholecystitis (AC) patients.
Methods
Between January 2020 and December 2022, we chose 90 patients who had typical ACC and had previously visited the emergency room at Minia University Hospital in Egypt. The 90 AC patients were split into two groups: the 63 AC patients without CBD stones and the 27 AC patients with CBD stones. The data were obtained and compared between the two groups include gender, age, history of chronic calcular cholecystitis (CCC), white blood cells (WBC), liver function tests (LFT), and common bile duct (CBD) diameter.
Results
By using simple logistic regression analysis for prediction of CBD stones, old age > 55 years, CBD diameter more than 6 mm and elevated liver functions including total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) was associated with CBD stones. By using multiple logistic regression analysis, only 2 variable showing significant association with CBD stones, including old age > 55 years ( = 0.013, odds ratio 9.26, confidence interval 1.6–53.61) and direct bilirubin ( = 0.008, Odds ratio 55.67, confidence interval 2.89–1072.35).
Conclusion
Age, abnormal LFTs greater than twofold, and dilated CBD >6 mm in AC patients increase the likelihood of concurrent CBDS. Knowing about these results might assist physicians develop clinical suspicions for an earlier diagnosis and improved management of CBDS.
