However, clinical outcomes remain unclear for patients underwent different interventional therapies based on these two techniques.Methods: A total of 125 patients with CCP who underwent ESWL, ERCP or a combined treatment at two medical centers from January 2019 to January 2020 were considered. Patients were divided into four groups according to intervention types (ESWL-alone, ERCP-alone, ESWL-ERCP and ERCP-ESWL). A retrospective survey with a follow-up for 2 years was conducted. The main outcome measures were postoperative complications, abdominal pain and re-intervention during the follow-up. Possible prognostic factors were evaluated by multivariate analysis.Results: Patients in ESWL-ERCP group had the highest complete pain relief rate (49.28%), the lowest pain frequency (1 time/year) and intensity (VAS-score, 1.84± 1.93) during the follow-up, which were statistically significant compared with the other three groups. ESWL-ERCP group also had the lowest postoperative complication rate (6%), while the highest complication rate (16%) was observed in ESWL-alone group. Both ESWL-alone and ESWL-ERCP group had significant lower frequencies of re-interventions (0.44 ± 0.73, 0.57± 0.98, respectively) after the initial treatments. An analysis of treatment-based prognostic factors found significant interactions between age, course of CCP, max pancreatic duct stone diameter, calcium, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and triglyceride.Conclusion: ESWL-ERCP was considered as the most effective interventional therapy for CCP with a better safety in a two-year follow-up. Prognostic factors may help to determine the patients who benefit by this technique.Keywords: chronic calcific pancreatitis, ESWL, ERCP, follow-up
