During the study period, 147 patients with gallstone pancreatitis were screened for eligibility. Forty-seven patients were excluded and 100 patients were enrolled in the study. After enrollment, 3 patients were excluded from the intention to treat analysis (2 patients excluded prior to randomization due to increasing pancreatitis severity; 1 patient excluded after randomization due to patient being developmentally delayed). A total of 48 patients were randomized to the control cholecystectomy group and 49 patients were randomized to the early cholecystectomy group. A total of 80 patients (40 from each group) were able to be reached for 1-month postoperative GIQLI assessment.
