Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an essential procedure that can be complicated by post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Indomethacin and ketorolac are two medications used to prevent PEP. The main reason for this research study is to compare the effectiveness these drugs at reducing rates of PEP. There have been no studies comparing the effectiveness of these medications in preventing PEP in pediatric patients. You are being asked to take part in this research study because you are scheduled to have an ERCP as part of your medical care.

Below is the number of participants within the rectal indomethacin and IV ketorolac cohorts who developed Post-ERCP Pancreatitis-
Post ERCP Pancreatitis: A patient must have at least 2 of the following to establish a diagnosis of post ERCP pancreatitis:
Time frame: 2 weeks
86 participants from the rectal indomethacin cohort and 83 from IV ketorolac received pancreatic duct injections during their ERCP. Below we describe the outcome measure of post-ERCP pancreatitis vs. no pancreatitis for those who received pancreatic duct injections.
Time frame: 2 weeks
36 participants from the rectal indomethacin cohort and 33 from IV ketorolac had a native papilla for their ERCP. Below we describe the outcome measure of post-ERCP pancreatitis vs. no pancreatitis for those who had a native papilla.
Time frame: 2 weeks
25 participants from the rectal indomethacin cohort and 19 from IV ketorolac received pancreatic sphincterotomies during their ERCP. Below we describe the outcome measure of post-ERCP pancreatitis vs. no pancreatitis for those who received pancreatic sphincterotomies.
Time frame: 2 weeks
83 participants from the rectal indomethacin cohort and 84 from IV ketorolac received various amounts of Opti-Ray during their ERCP. Below we describe the outcome measure of post-ERCP pancreatitis vs. no pancreatitis for those who received Opti-Ray.
Time frame: 2 weeks
51 participants from the rectal indomethacin cohort and 53 from IV ketorolac received a therapeutic pancreatic duct stent during their ERCP. Below we describe the outcome measure of post-ERCP pancreatitis vs. no pancreatitis for those who received therapeutic pancreatic duct stents.
Time frame: 2 weeks
11 participants from the rectal indomethacin cohort and 11 from IV ketorolac received a prophylactic pancreatic duct stent during their ERCP. Below we describe the outcome measure of post-ERCP pancreatitis vs. no pancreatitis for those who received prophylactic pancreatic duct stents.
Time frame: 2 weeks
A minimum of 3 pain assessments were completed by nursing staff/anesthesia during admission:
Anesthesia/ PACU- initial pain assessment Evening-2100- pain assessment by RN Morning -0800- pain assessment by RN
We defined *Pain score > 0 (any pain) for patients in the rectal indomethacin vs. IV ketorolac cohorts using the NRS and FLACC Pain scale.
Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) Pain scale for patients 0-5 years of age and patients unable to verbalize pain
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Pain scale for patients 6 years old and above
Time frame: 2 weeks
Not all patients were admitted following the procedure which accounts for the difference in overall number of participants analyzed.

Below is the median length of stay for participants within the rectal indomethacin and IV ketorolac cohorts. The difference in participants analyzed is due to the fact that not all participants were admitted following the procedure.
Time frame: 2 weeks
Severity of AP will be classified as mild, moderately severe, or severe in accordance with the NASPGHAN Classification system.
