About this study

A study was designed with a prospective cohort of all patients undergoing urgent surgery for left colon perforation between March 2014 and June 2017 who were treated according to a specific ERAS programme (ERAS group/29 patients). This group was compared with a historic case-matched control group with conventional care (CC group/21 patients). The main endpoints were postoperative 30-day morbidity, length of postoperative hospital stay, rate of readmission within 30 days, and mortality. The inclusion criteria were patients over 18 years old with a low-moderate risk of mortality according to a Peritonitis Severity Score (PSS) between 6-11 points.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colon Perforation, run by Antonio Arroyo Sebastian.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2018. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

number of items completed of ERAS protocol (time frame: 1-month). 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?
