Background/aims: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an essential diagnostic and therapeutic method for pancreato-biliary disorders in adults, but its use in pediatric populations remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the indications, technical success, and safety of ERCP in pediatric patients.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of all ERCP procedures performed on patients under 18 years of age was conducted at 2 tertiary centers in Türkiye (Harran University and Gaziantep University Hospital) during the period between January 2013 and May 2024.

Background/aims: Epidemiological data on mortality in autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs) are scarce. We examined all-cause and cancer-related mortality in individuals with AILD from Sweden.
Methods: We identified 9654 individuals with AILD (3342 with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), 3751 with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and 2561 with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)) using national Swedish registries between 2001 and 2020.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: As the prevalence of osteoporotic fractures increases, impacting the health of the aging population significantly, understanding the genetic link between chronic diseases such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and osteoporosis (OP) is crucial. Despite existing research, the direct genetic relationship between these conditions remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: This study used a two-sample Mendelian randomization approach, drawing on the largest available genome-wide association studies.
