Good recovery, the AOC patients who had decreasing TBIL after ENBD. Bad recovery, the patients who had increasing TBIL after ENBD. ENBD, endoscopic nasobiliary drainage; BMI, body mass index; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; TBIL, total bilirubin; DBIL, direct bilirubin; CRP, C-reactive protein. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
