There were no criteri for dignosis, severity ssessment, or ptient trnsfer, nd no estblished principles of clinicl prctice guidelines for cute cholngitis nd cholecystitis. In order to develop guidelines tht would be useful in clinicl prctice, n understnding of the current sttus of clinicl prctice for cute cholngitis nd cholecystitis ws considered essentil. After severl open symposi nd survey of these two diseses, we developed nd published Jpnese-lnguge version of Evidence-Bsed Prctice Guidelines for the Mngement of Acute Cholngitis nd Cholecystitis. In order to prepre interntionl Guidelines, we hd repeted discussions bout the drft Guidelines together with interntionl experts, nd, following the Consensus Meeting, held on April 1 2, 2006, in Tokyo, with the ttendnce of 300 world experts in the field, the Interntionl Guidelines for the Mngement of Acute Cholngitis nd Cholecystitis were developed. In this rticle, we outline the comments nd opinions given t the Interntionl Meeting nd how they re reflected in the finl version of the Guidelines. Key words Guidelines Consensus development meeting Evidence-bsed medicine Cholngitis Acute cholecystitis Introduction Guidelines should not only be bsed on evidence but should lso meet the needs of current medicl prctice. We thought tht dequte discussion, to receive feed- Offprint requests to: T. Myumi Received: My 31, 2006 / Accepted: August 6, 2006 bck t open symposi nd conferences, ws essentil during the development of the Guidelines. As one of the Integrted Reserch Projects for Assessing Medicl Technology, sponsored by the Jpnese Ministry of Helth, Lbour, nd Welfre, Reserch Group for the Preprtion nd Diffusion of Guidelines for the Mngement of Acute Biliry Trct Infection ws estblished. With support from the Jpnese Society for Abdominl Emergency Medicine, the Jpn Biliry Assocition, nd the Jpnese Society of Hepto- Biliry-Pncretic Surgery, development of the Guidelines for the Mngement of Acute Cholngitis nd Cholecystitis hs been underwy since After severl open consensus conferences nd open symposi to obtin feedbck from members of these societies, Jpnese-lnguge version of Evidence- Bsed Prctice Guidelines for the Mngement of Acute Cholngitis nd Cholecystitis ws prepred nd published. An English-lnguge version of these Guidelines (drft) ws discussed, vi e-mil, with worldwide experts on cute cholngitis nd cholecystitis, with the im of publishing Interntionl Guidelines for the Mngement of Acute Cholngitis nd Cholecystitis. Much spirited debte, which chnged mny res of dignosis criteri, severity ssessment, etc, then took plce t the Interntionl Consensus Meeting, held in Tokyo on April 1 nd 2, 2006, ttended by experts from Jpn nd mny other prts of the world. After severl modifictions by the Orgnizing Committee, the finl version is published here s the Interntionl Guidelines for the Mngement of Acute Cholngitis nd Cholecystitis. In this rticle, we outlined comments nd opinions given t the Interntionl Consensus Meeting,
2 T. Myumi et l.: Results of the Tokyo Consensus Meeting 115 nd how they re reflected in finl version of the Guidelines. Chnges mde in the Guidelines t the Interntionl Consensus Meeting for the Mngement of Acute Cholngitis nd Cholecystitis (Tokyo, April 1 2, 2006) In order to prepre interntionl guidelines bsed on the Evidence-Bsed Prctice Guidelines for the Mngement of Acute Cholngitis nd Cholecystitis, drft guidelines were modified severl times by the Orgnizing Committee, nd discussion ws crried out, vi e- mil, with worldwide experts on cute cholngitis nd cute cholecystitis before the Interntionl Consensus Meeting. The discussions were followed by the 2-dy Interntionl Consensus Meeting, held in Tokyo on April 1 2, 2006, with the ttendnce of bout 300 world experts specilizing in cute cholngitis nd cute cholecystitis, in order to prepre evidence-bsed guidelines. Attendees from brod re listed (Pge 8 10). Discussions t the Meeting re outlined below. Dignostic criteri for cute cholngitis Some pnelists proposed tht History of biliry disese should be included in the dignostic criteri for cute cholngitis (Tble 1B). A history of biliry disese, such s gllstones, history of previous biliry surgery, nd hving n indwelling biliry stent ply n importnt role in mking the dignosis, s greed upon by mny prticipnts t the Consensus Meeting. But other pnelists disgreed nd proposed different criteri (Tble 1C). Becuse not only n increse but lso decrese in the WBC count indictes inflmmtion, leukocytosis ws chnged to bnorml WBC count. Becuse C- rective protein (CRP) is sometimes not elevted, or other evidence of inflmmtory response ws dded. WBC count nd elevtion of CRP level or other evidence of inflmmtory response re seprte items. As sprtte minotrnsferse (AST) nd lnine minotrnsferse (ALT) sometimes increse in cute cholngitis, bnorml liver function tests, lkline phosphtse (ALP), γ-gtp, AST, ALT) ws dded. Imging findings of inflmmtory chnges in cute cholngitis re lso useful for dignosis. Biliry dilttion or etiology (stricture, tumor, stones) (Tble 1A) ws chnged to biliry dilttion, inflmmtory findings, or etiology (stricture, tumor, stones) (Tble 1B, C). Two wys of mking definite dignosis were proposed; in revision 1 (Tble 1B), these were: (1) three or four items in A (Chrcot s trid) nd (2) ny item in A + two items in B + C, nd in Revision 2 (Tble 1C), these were: Any item in A + two items in B + C. As more thn 90% of the prticipnts t the Tokyo Consensus Meeting greed on four criteri in revision 1 (Tble 1B), history of biliry disese ws included, nd bnorml WBC count nd elevtion of CRP or other evidence of inflmmtory response were included in the finl version of the dignostic criteri for cute cholngitis (Tble 1D). In Tble 1D, two or more items in A were defined s suspected dignosis, nd either: (1) Chrcot s trid (items in A) or (2) two or more items in A plus both items in B + C, were defined s definite dignosis of cute cholngitis. Severity ssessment criteri for cute cholngitis (Tble 2) More thn 70% of the prticipnts t the Tokyo Consensus Meeting greed tht the severity of cute cholngitis should be divided into three grdes, severe (grde III), moderte (grde II), nd mild (grde I). To strtify cute cholngitis into three grdes, two different criteri were necessry, nd it ws decided to use onset of orgn dysfunction nd response to the initil medicl tretment s criteri for the severity ssessment of cute cholngitis. Severe (grde III) cute cholngitis ws defined s tht ssocited with ny one of the ctegories of orgn/ system dysfunction or severe locl inflmmtion listed in Tble 2. This ws supported by more thn 90% of the pnelists t the Interntionl Consensus Meeting. But the thresholds of these ctegories were not discussed t the Summry session. There ws some rgument bout whether the score on n cute physiology scoring system, such s cute physiology nd chronic helth evlution (APACHE) II, or multiple orgn dysfunction scoring system, such s Mrshll s system or the sepsis-relted orgn filure ssessment (SOFA) system should be used s criterion for severe (grde III) cute cholngitis. The principl dvntge of these scoring systems is tht they provide grdtions of severity. The APACHE II system hs been vlidted, especilly for criticl cre ptients, including ptients with sepsis, nd cute cholngitis cn be interpreted s subset of sepsis. The disdvntge of these scoring systems is tht the scores re sometimes troublesome to clculte, nd criticlly speking, they hve not been stisfctory vlidted in ptients with cute cholngitis. The vote on this rgument showed tht 37.8% of the pnelists supported the use of APACHE II nd 62.2% did not. As result of this vote, the chirmen of this session, Drs. Yoshifumi Kwrd (Jpn) nd Henry Pitt (United Sttes), hd proposed to remit the finl decision of whether or

Neither recurrent symptom nor mlignncy s etiology lwys shows moderte (grde II) cute cholngitis. Therefore, both of these were deleted from the criteri for moderte (grde II) cute cholngitis. The thresholds of high fever nd WBC counts were not decided. After the Interntionl Meeting, ll the criteri nd thresholds of severity of cute cholngitis were dis-

The definition of moderte (grde II) cute cholngitis ws chnged to: cute cholngitis tht does not respond to the initil medicl tretment nd is not ssocited with orgn dysfunction (Tble 2B). Dignostic criteri for cute cholecystitis (Tble 3) After the discussion during the Tokyo Interntionl Consensus Meeting, lmost unnimous greement ws chieved (Tble 3B). However, 19% of the pnelists from brod expressed the necessity for minor modifictions, becuse the dignostic criteri did not include technetium heptobiliry iminodicetic cid (Tc-HIDA) scns s n item in the provisionl version. Some pnelists insisted tht suspected dignosis ws not necessry, nd tht only definite dignosis should be included in the dignostic criteri for cute cholecystitis. There ws no discussion on whether, if suspected dignosis ws deleted, how the definition of definite dignosis should be modified. After the Interntionl Meeting, A. Locl signs of inflmmtion ; B. Systemic signs of inflmmtion nd C. Imging findings were clerly specified in the dignostic criteri for cute cholecystitis (Tble 3B). Tc- HIDA scn ws included in C. Imging findings. Suspected dignosis ws deleted from the criteri. Severity ssessment criteri for cute cholecystitis (Tble 4) Before the Interntionl Meeting, Severe (grde III) cute cholecystitis ws defined s tht ssocited with dysfunction in ny one of the orgns/systems or ny one of the severe locl inflmmtion ctegories listed in Tble 4A.

The concept of the finl version of the severity ssessment of cute cholecystitis, severe (grde III) cute cholecystitis ws defined s tht ssocited with orgn dysfunction, moderte (grde II) cute cholecystitis ws defined s tht ssocited with difficulty to perform due to locl inflmmtion, nd mild (grde I) cute cholecystitis ws defined s tht which does not meet the criteri of severe or moderte cute cholecystitis. In the severity ssessment initilly proposed t the Meeting moderte (grde II) cute cholecystitis ws ssocited with ny of the following conditions: (1) bnorml WBC (>15 000, >18 000? threshold ws not decided), (2) plpble inflmmtory mss, (3) onset more thn h nd (4) Serious wll thickening nd fluid collection round the gllbldder. Some pnelists insisted tht serious should be chnged to thickening or deleted. Whether threshold of wll thickening should be included ws not discussed. If included, the extent of the thickness, whether 6 7 mm or 8 mm, or twice tht of the norml gllbldder wll, lso remined s questions. Also, it ws queried whether both the thickness of the gllbldder wll nd fluid collection round the gllbldder were necessry for the dignosis of moderte cute cholecystitis? Pnelists suggested tht liver cirrhosis should be described in Note. After the Interntionl Meeting, ech item nd its threshold were discussed nd decided on by the Orgnizing Committee. Severe locl inflmmtion ws deleted from the criteri for severe (grde III) cute cholecystitis (Tble 4B). Onset more thn h ws chnged to prolonged locl signs of inflmmtion in the criteri for moderte (grde II) cute cholngitis. Flowchrts Flow chrts for the mngement of cute cholngitis nd cute cholecystitis ccording to severity were lso discussed nd modified t the Meeting.

It cn lso be defined s cute cholecystitis in helthy ptient with no orgn dysfunction nd mild inflmmtory chnges in the gllbldder, mking sfe nd low-risk opertive procedure. Moderte (grde II) cute cholecystitis Moderte cute cholecystitis is ssocited with ny one of the following conditions: 1. Elevted WBC count (>18000/mm 3 ) 2. Plpble tender mss in the right upper bdominl qudrnt 3. Durtion of complints >72 h 4. Mrked locl inflmmtion (biliry peritonitis, pericholecystic bscess, heptic bscess, gngrenous cholecystitis, emphysemtous cholecystitis) Lproscopic surgery should be performed within 96 h of the onset of cute cholecystitis Severe (grde III) cute cholecystitis Severe cute cholecystitis is ssocited with dysfunction of ny one of the following orgns/systems 1. Crdiovsculr dysfunction (hypotension requiring tretment with dopmine 5 µg/kg per min, or ny dose of dobutmine) 2. Neurologicl dysfunction (decresed level of consciousness) 3. Respirtory dysfunction (PO 2 /FiO 2 rtio <300) 4. Renl dysfunction (oliguri, cretinine >2.0 mg/dl) 5. Heptic dysfunction (PT-INR > 1.5) 6. Hemtologicl dysfunction (pltelet count < /mm 3 ) Almost ll pnelists greed with the flowchrt for Generl guidnce for the mngement of cute biliry infection (Fig. 1). But in the flowchrt for the mngement of cute cholngitis (Fig. 2), pnelists suggested tht medicl tretment should be begun before ssessment of the severity of cute cholngitis. Therefore, the flowchrt ws chnged, s shown in Fig. 2b. In the flowchrt for the mngement of cute cholecystitis (Fig. 3), becuse the concept of severity of cholecystitis ws chnged, this flowchrt ws lso modified (Fig. 3b). As severe (grde III) cute cholecystitis is ssocited with orgn dysfunction, urgent/erly dringe ws preferred to urgent/erly for severe (grde III) cholecystitis. Similrly, s moderte (grde II) cute cholecystitis is ssocited with difficulty to perform due to locl inflmmtion, urgent/erly dringe ws preferred to erly/elective for moderte (grde II) cholecystitis lso. Definitions of severity: mild to severe (grdes I III) Before the Meeting, the severity of both cute cholngitis nd cute cholecystitis ws clssified s mild,
