Table 4 Comparisons of age, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography (CEMRC) performed days after trauma, length of hospital stay, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and bilirubin on arrival between groups with and without bile leak as well as between groups with type I and type II bile leak.
Variables | Bile leak | p-value (Mann-Whitney test) | Bile leak types | p-value (Mann-Whitney test) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
yes (n = 15) | no (n = 7) | Type I (n = 7) | Type II (n = 8) | |||
Age (years) | 24 (21, 32) | 35 (22, 38) | 0.458 | 24 (21, 32) | 24 (22, 35) | 0.772 |
CEMRC after trauma (days) | 11 (9, 13) | 8 (8, 22) | 0.750 | 10 (5, 13) | 12 (10, 14) | 0.221 |
Length of stay (days) | 16 (11, 23) | 12 (9, 29) | 0.596 | 11 (9, 16) | 23 (20, 32) | 0.003 |
AST (U/L) | 317 (203, 649) | 414 (186, 460) | 0.805 | 303 (203, 412) | 580 (218, 837) | 0.105 |
ALT (U/L) | 394 (222, 494) | 260 (193, 310) | 0.275 | 357 (245, 459) | 471 (140, 820) | 0.355 |
Total bilirubin (mg/dL) | 1.10 (0.95, 1.80) | 1.50 (0.85, 2.33) | 0.826 | 0.95 (0.73, 1.23) | 1.80 (1.10, 2.90) | 0.022 |
