Trial summary

Gallbladder disease is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Various studies have shown an association between gallstones and an alteration in the serum lipids. The objective of this study will be to compare serum lipid profile of gallstone patients with the controls. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Analysis of Serum Lipid Profiles in Patients With and Without Gallstones: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study

Gallbladder disease is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Various studies have shown an association between gallstones and an alteration in the serum lipids. The objective of this study will be to compare serum lipid profile of gallstone patients with the controls.

Read the detailed description

This prospective cross-sectional study will be conducted in the Surgical Department of the Services Institute of Medical Sciences. A total of 50 patients will beincluded in the study after screening through the inclusion criteria. A control group of 50 inpatients with no personal or family history of gallstones will be also recruited for comparison. Results will be expressed as mean with standard deviation. Students t- test will be used to compare the data between the patients and the control groups (p<0.05 will be considered statistically significant). SPSS software, version 20 will be used for statistical analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gallstone and Dyslipidemias, run by Services Hospital, Lahore at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

serum cholesterol levels (time frame: 1 week). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Jan 2019.
