Risk scores for choledocholithiasis perform poorly in patients with hemolytic diseases: a PEDI database report

Patients with hemolytic diseases are at increased risk for gallstone-related complications. Modified scoring systems have been developed to assess which pediatric patients would benefit from endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to treat choledocholithiasis.
