Core Tip
Core Tip: Acute cholangitis (AC) is the infection of the bile and bile ducts, usually resulting from obstruction by stones, benign strictures, and malignancies. AC is a heterogeneous disease with considerable variation in clinical presentation and high medical costs. Literature on AC prognosis is scarce, and studies investigating the indicators of admission to intensive care units are needed for the timely introduction of diagnostic measures and treatment. We gave an important insight regarding the independent predictors of mortality and intensive care unit admission.
