TABLE 1.

Summary of the MANCTRA-1 Audit*

Investigated item Compliance level (%) Population
1 Optimal timing for the index CE-CT assessment is 72–96 hours after the onset of symptoms 6.1 Patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis
2 Routine prophylactic antibiotics are not recommended for all patients with acute biliary pancreatitis (patients on antibiotics) 55.8
53.4
83.4
85.2
General cohort of patients with acute biliary pancreatitis
Patients with mild acute biliary pancreatitis
Patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis
Patients with infected pancreatic necrosis
3 Serum measurements of procalcitonin (PCT) may be
valuable in predicting the risk of developing infected pancreatic necrosis
30.8
29.6
Patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis
Patients with infected pancreatic necrosis
4 Early (within 24 hours) oral feeding as tolerated, rather than keeping the patient nil per os, is recommended in patients with acute biliary pancreatitis 44.7
47.7
General cohort of patients with acute biliary pancreatitis
Patients with mild acute biliary pancreatitis
5 EN is recommended to prevent gut failure and infectious complications in patients with acute biliary pancreatitis and inability to feed orally 33.2
39.3
Patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis
Patients with infected pancreatic necrosis
6 TPN should be avoided (patients on TPN) 36.2
34.4
Patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis
Patients with infected pancreatic necrosis
7 Early ERCP/ES should be performed in gallstone-induced acute biliary pancreatitis when complications of cholangitis and CBD obstruction occur 46.0
60.1
56.7
Patients with cholangitis
Patients with CBD obstruction
Patients with cholangitis and CBD obstruction
8 In patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis, percutaneous or endoscopic drainage as the first-line treatment (step-up approach) delays the surgical treatment to a more favorable time or even results in complete resolution of infection in 25%–60% of patients, and it is recommended as the first line of treatment 33.7 Patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis or infected pancreatic necrosis
9 Therapeutic intervention for infected pancreatic necrosis should be performed after 4 weeks of onset when the necrosis has been sufficiently walled off 37.2 Patients with infected pancreatic necrosis
10 Laparoscopic cholecystectomy during the index admission, rather than after discharge, is recommended in mild acute biliary pancreatitis 29.0 Patients with mild acute biliary pancreatitis
