Background Recent advances in modern medicine have translated into increase in life expectancy in the USA and with that, a rise in the demand for invasive procedures in elderly patients. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the procedure of choice for managing various benign and malignant pancreatobiliary conditions and can be associated with various adverse events. Aim We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate outcomes of ERCP in nonagenarians. Methods A comprehensive literature search was performed in Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Review library until July 2020. Our primary outcomes were the rate of technical success and adverse events in nonagenarians. Secondary outcomes were comparison of technical success and adverse events compared with younger patients. Results The initial search revealed 4933 studies, of which 24 studies with 5521 patients met our inclusion criteria. Pooled technical success rate of ERCP in nonagenarians was 92%, and pooled adverse event rate was 7.8%. There was no significant difference in technical success rate and overall rate of adverse events comparing ERCP outcomes in nonagenarians with a relatively younger population. The risk of post-ERCP bleeding was significantly higher in nonagenarians compared to younger patients with OR = 1.986 [1.113-3.544], I2 = 0. ERCP-related mortality was also significantly higher in nonagenarians compared to younger patients with OR = 4.720 [1.368-16.289], I2 = 0. Conclusion There was no significant difference in technical success rate and risk of adverse events related to ERCP in nonagenarians compared to younger patients. However, the risk of bleeding and procedure-related mortality was significantly higher.
