Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Research design: This is an observational study to compare radiation exposure in patients during ERCPs based on formal training.
Procedures to be used: None Risks and potential benefits There are no risks associated with this study as it is a retrospective chart review. Potential benefits include the knowledge gained from this study which may be of help to patients in the future.
Importance of knowledge that may reasonably be expected to result The knowledge gained from this study may be of help to provide new insights and develop newer guidelines for radiation use in the future.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Patients undergoing ERCP by formally trained Endoscopists
Patients who undergo ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography) performed by Endoscopists who are trained on minimum use of fluoroscopy.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography - No Intervention have been used other than standard of care
No intervention has been used and this is an observational study
Patients undergoing ERCP by Endoscopists not formally trained
Patients who undergo ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography) performed by Endoscopists who have not received formal training on minimum use of fluoroscopy.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography - No Intervention have been used other than standard of care
No intervention has been used and this is an observational study
