Cancer-associated acute cholangitis (CAAC) are becoming more frequent and their characteristics may be changing with the evolution of cancer management. Our aim was to compare clinical, microbiological and outcome characteristics of CAAC to those of cancer-free acute cholangitis (CFAC). Methods All consecutive cases of acute cholangitis (AC) from November 2015 to March 2017 were collected retrospectively in a single tertiary care hospital in Clichy, France, specialized in gastroenterology. Hospital stays referred as AC by coding were screened. Patients fulfilling the 2018 Tokyo Guidelines diagnostic criteria for definite AC were included. Data were collected using a standardized form. CAAC were defined as AC that occurred in patients who had active cancer or history of cancer in the five previous years. CFAC were defined as AC in patient who no history of cancer, or in remission for more than 5 years. Comparison was made using Fisher or Student’s t-test. P 〈 0.05 was considered as significant. Results 156 episodes of AC in 130 patients were analyzed. 101 had CAAC and 55 had CFAC. Age and sex did not differ (table 1), but CAAC had a higher Charlson’s comorbidity index (4.4 vs. 1.7, P 〈 0.0001). Despite similar clinical presentation, CAAC had more pronounced cholestasis (Gamma GT 659 vs. 391UI/L; Alkaline phosphatases 526 vs. 309 UI/L; P 〈 0.0001 for both) and C-reactive protein level (133 vs. 97mg/L, P = 0.008, Table 2). E. coli was more common in CFAC (72.4% vs. 54% of positive blood cultures, P = 0.004). In bile cultures, Enterococci and multi-drug-resistant Gram negatives tended to be more frequent in CAAC than in CFAC (63 vs. 17%, P = 0.07 and 9.1% vs. 4.1%, P = 0.33, Table 2), respectively. CAAC more frequently required drainage (86.1% of cases vs. 43.6% in CFAC (P 〈 0.0001), including radiological drainage (42.5% vs. 12.5%; P = 0.008) and with multiple sessions (28.7% vs. 8.3%, P 〈 0.0001, Table 3). Antibiotherapy duration did not differ between the two groups. Despite similar initial severity, only 51.5% of patients with CAAC were alive, without febrile recurrence or other biliary drainage at day 28, vs. 85.5% of patients with CFAC (P 〈 0.0001, Table 3). Conclusion Despite comparable initial clinical presentation, management is more complex and outcome less favorable in CAAC vs. CFAC. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
