Brief Summary:
The goal of this multicentre randomized controlled trial is to investigate if a very short-course of antibiotics (1 day) for cholangitis after adequate drainage is non-inferior with respect to clinical cure in comparison with a standard course of antibiotics (4 to 7 days). Secondary objectives include:
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage be non-inferior with respect to relapse of cholangitis and mortality in comparison with a standard course of antibiotics?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage result in less adverse drug events in comparison with a standard course of antibiotics?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage reduce length of hospital stay?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage improve quality of life?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage be cost-effective?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage be non-inferior with respect to relapse of cholangitis and mortality in comparison with a standard course of antibiotics?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage result in less adverse drug events in comparison with a standard course of antibiotics?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage reduce length of hospital stay?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage improve quality of life?
* Will a one-day course of antibiotics for cholangitis after adequate drainage be cost-effective?
Detailed Description:
Acute cholangitis is an infection of the biliary tract which is managed with biliary drainage and antibiotic therapy (ABT). Currently the international Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) recommend 4 to 7 days of ABT after source control. The national SWAB guideline of 2020 suggests a course of one to 3 days after biliary drainage. There are no randomized studies to guide the duration of ABT for acute cholangitis. Our recent retrospective study in the Netherlands showed that a short course of ABT seems safe and more evidence is available showing that other bacterial infections, including abdominal and bloodstream infections, can be treated with a short antibiotic course than previously assumed. Hence, the hypothesis is that a very short-course of ABT for acute cholangitis is non-inferior to a course of 4 to 7 days after adequate biliary drainage.
This study is designed as a multicenter non-inferiority randomized controlled trial. Patients will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (one day of antibiotic therapy after ERCP) or the comparator group (4 to 7 days of antibiotic therapy after ERCP).
