About this study

Cardiovascular system involvement with acute pancreatitis has been described before in the form of ECG changes and echocardiographic findings. However the correlation between these changes and the outcome of acute pancreatitis has not been and whether they can be used to predict mortality in these patients has been controversial.In the current study our aim is to detect echocardioghraphic and ECG changes in acute pancreatitis and investigate the significance of these changes on prognosis.

Read the detailed description

Acute pancreatitis is a relatively common disease with significant morbidity and mortality. About 75% of pancreatitis is caused by gallstones or alcohol. The Atlanta classification of acute pancreatitis has been used to differentiate between severe and mild cases of acute pancreatitis. According to this classification, patients are diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis if they show evidence of organ failure, Local complications (eg, necrosis, abscess, pseudocyst), Ranson score of 3 or higher or APACHE score of 8 or higher. Severe acute pancreatitis has a wide range of affection on nearly all body systems with various degrees of affection than affect both the clinical picture and the prognosis of the disease. the cardiovascular system involvement has been described before ,in the form of ECG changes (sinus tachycardia, arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities.. ) and echocardiographic findings (diastolic,systolic or combined dysfunction, wall motion abnormalities, pericardial effusion..). However the correlation between these changes and the outcome of acute pancreatitis has not been and whether they can be used to predict mortality in these patients has been controversial.In the current study our aim is to detect echocardioghraphic and ECG changes in acute pancreatitis and investigate the significance of these changes on prognosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Echocardiographic (mainly diastolic dysfunction & pericardial effusion) and ECG changes (mainly QT interval) in patients with acute pancreatitis.

    To detect the echocardiographic (mainly diastolic dysfunction \& pericardial effusion) and ECG changes (mainly QT interval) in patients with acute pancreatitis.

    Measured: at admission on 1st day

  2. determine the impact of these changes on outcome of patients

    determine the impact of these changes on outcome of patients

    Measured: though out hospital admission (an average of 1 week)

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Pancreatitis, run by Assiut University.

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 5 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 12 Dec 2019. 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?

Contact Alaaeldin M. Abdelrahman, MBBS (01144780935 ext. +2, aladdinmahmoud@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Echocardiographic (mainly diastolic dysfunction & pericardial effusion) and ECG changes (mainly QT interval) in patients with acute pancreatitis. (time frame: at admission on 1st day). The study lists 2 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 12 Dec 2019.
