Figure 2. Bilirubin levels at baseline, after primary ERCP for all patients combined, for the patients without reintervention and for the patients undergoing reintervention (before and after). Baseline bilirubin missing for six patients. Bilirubin levels in the 30 days follow-up period was missing for 58 patients.
