Highlights |
• | What is already known about this subject? |

• | What are the new findings? |
• | After a maximal follow up of only 10.5 years, almost one fifth of a cohort of post ERCP pancreatitis developed diabetes, which is significantly higher than the expected incidence. |
• | How might it impact on clinical practice in the foreseeable future? |
• | Patients who develop post ERCP pancreatitis may benefit from careful monitoring for diabetes in the years following their ERCP. |
