About this study

This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of blood viscosity as a prognostic factor in patients with acute pancreatitis. The study design is a single-arm prospective cohort observational study. Blood biomarkers including blood viscosity, C-reactive protein, hematocrit, and phosphate are measured and the correlation with the severity of acute pancreatitis will be analyzed.

Read the detailed description

Several scoring systems are used to evaluate the prognosis of acute pancreatitis, but they are rather complicated and clinically less useful. Blood viscosity is associated with hematocrit and inflammatory factors known to be related to the prognosis of acute pancreatitis, and our group's previous study which is not yet published showed that blood viscosity better predicts severe acute pancreatitis than other single factors such as C-reative protein. Therefore, this study aims to prospectively evaluate the usefulness of blood viscosity as a prognostic factor for acute pancreatitis. During the study period, the study is conducted on patients with acute pancreatitis between the ages of 19 and 70, and patients with acute pancreatitis after ERCP are excluded. Blood viscosities at initial and 24 hours after hospitalization, and serum phosphate, which have shown potential as a predictor of severity in post-ERCP pancreatitis in previous studies are measured. The association of these blood biomarkers with the severity of acute pancreatitis will be analyzed and compared with hematocrit, C-reactive protein, etc., which are known as a single prognostic predictor of acute pancreatitis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Pancreatitis, run by In Seok Lee at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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 17 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Young Hoon Choi, MD, MS (82-2-2258-6020, crzyzs@naver.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prediction of severity of acute pancreatitis using initial blood viscosity (time frame: 48hours after admission). 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 17 Sep 2020.
