Summary
This study tests a tool called SWEET that predicts how long an ERCP procedure will take. ERCP is a procedure that uses a camera and X-rays to treat bile duct problems. The tool uses patient and procedure details to estimate time. Researchers will compare its predictions to doctors' estimates and actual procedure times in 363 adults.
