Trial summary

This study investigated the impact of highest drain fluid amylase (DFA) level on postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) severity and outcomes of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with POPF. Patient demographics of biochemical POPF and clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF) were compared. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Significance of Drain Amylase Levels After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

This study investigated the impact of highest drain fluid amylase (DFA) level on postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) severity and outcomes of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with POPF. Patient demographics of biochemical POPF and clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF) were compared. Predictive factors were assessed using binary logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal cutoff value of highest DFA (beyond 3 days post-PD). The investigators compared length of hospital stay, surgical mortality rates, and need for postoperative interventions by highest DFA level.

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative pancreatic fistula

    fluid output of any measureable volume via an operatively placed drain with amylase activity greater than 3 times the upper normal serum value

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 month

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. postoperative interventions

    transarterial embolization, image-guided second drainage, and reoperation

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 month

  2. length of hospital stay

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 month

  3. 30-day mortality rates

    Measured: 30 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreas; Fistula, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.

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 3 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 26 Jun 2020. 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?

postoperative pancreatic fistula (time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jun 2020.
