About this study

Official title: Management of Patients With Gastrointestinal Bleeding - a Prospective Single Center Registry Study

Unlike the management of patients with various forms of accidents (e.g. polytrauma), only a few data exists for the emergency management of patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. The aim of our study is to develop optimal diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for the management of acute upper and lower gastrointestinal bleedings.

Read the detailed description

Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding is a common medical emergency. Up to 15% of patients still die worldwide. The gastroduodenal ulcer disease is the most common cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. Even lower gastrointestinal bleeding occurs especially in patients of older age.

The goal of our data acquisition and evaluation is to learn whether existing diagnostic or therapeutic procedures are of relevance in the management of acute gastrointestinal bleedings. Unlike the management of patients with various forms of accidents (e.g. polytrauma), only a few data exists on patients with acute gastrointestinal bleedings. The aim of our study is to develop optimal diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms of acute gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore our prospective data registry should answer different questions:

When is the right time for a gastroscopy or colonoscopy? Should every patient with a suspected gastrointestinal bleeding receive endoscopy? Which clinical und laboratory findings influence the success of therapy? Does endoscopic procedures have an influence on the length of hospital stay?

Against this background we will record treatment findings separately. This includes clinical (e.g. age, sex, date of admission, department of admission, onset of symptoms), laboratory (e.g. blood count), history of medications (e.g. new anticoagulation's) and endoscopic findings (e.g. active bleeding). Furthermore the length of inhospital stay will be recorded.

Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days.

Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time of endoscopy

    The aim of this primary endpoint should reflect whether the timing of endoscopic diagnosis after admission has an impact on the length hospital stay.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Follow up endoscopy (how many patients with gastrointestinal bleeding receive follow-up endoscopy )

    It will be noted how many patients with gastrointestinal bleeding receive follow-up endoscopy with therapeutic procedures.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days.

  2. Endoscopic therapies (whether taking anticoagulants have an impact on the need for endoscopic therapies)

    It should be study whether taking anticoagulants have an impact on the need for endoscopic therapies.

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrointestinal Bleeding, run by Dr. Horst Schmidt Klinik GmbH.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time of endoscopy (time frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 7 days.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jul 2015.
