¹The second day after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) stent placement, the patient had poor drainage of the pancreatic stent outflow tract because of stone blockage. This made it difficult to control the secondary infection, and the hospitalization time was prolonged. This patient was not included in the statistical analysis.

²Surgical treatment.

³ERCP treatment. ERCP: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
