| Abstract | Introduction Endoscopic self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement is the key endoscopic treatment for unresectable malignant biliary obstruction. The benefit of covered SEMS over uncovered SEMS remains unknown as are risk factors for SEMS dysfunction. This study aimed to determine the factors associated with patency of SEMS. Methods Patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction who underwent endoscopic SEMS placement at Ramathibodi Hospital, during January 2012 to March 2021 were included. Patient characteristics, clinical outcomes and patency of SEMS were collected. The primary outcome were stent patency and factors associated with patency of SEMS. The factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. Median days of stent patency, median time of patient survival, rate of reintervention and complications after SEMS placement were collected. Results One hundred and fourteen patients were included. SEMS dysfunction was found in 37 patients (32.5%). Size of cancer (Hazard ratio (HR), 1.20, (95% CI 1.02, 1.40), p 0.025), presence of stones or sludge during SEMS placement (Hazard ratio (HR), 3.91, (95% CI 1.74, 8.75), p 0.001), length of SEMS, 8 cm (HR 2.96, (95% CI 1.06, 8.3), p 0.039), and total bilirubin level above 2 mg/dL at one month after SEMS placement (HR 1.14, (95% CI 1.06, 1.22), p < 0.001) were associated with SEMS dysfunction. The median stent patency was 97 days. The median patient survival was 133 days, (95% CI 75–165). The rate of reintervention was 86% in patients with SEMS dysfunction. Conclusion The size of cancer, presence of stones or sludge during SEMS placement, the length of SEMS, and total bilirubin level above 2 mg/dL at 1 month after SEMS placement were associated with SEMS dysfunction. The median time of stent patency were not statistically different in each type of stent, covered stent, partially covered stent and uncovered stent. Median survival time of patients did not associate with SEMS patency or dysfunction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
