Trial summary

Short-term studies have shown that patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) often develop cholestasis or cholelithiasis. In this retrospective cohort study, we aimed to define the incidence, risk factors, and clinical consequences of cholelithiasis in adults with SBS over an extended time period.

About this study

Official title: Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Complications of Cholelithiasis in Adults With Short Bowel Syndrome

Short-term studies have shown that patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) often develop cholestasis or cholelithiasis. In this retrospective cohort study, we aimed to define the incidence, risk factors, and clinical consequences of cholelithiasis in adults with SBS over an extended time period.

Read the detailed description

However, only limited data are available regarding cholelithiasis in patients with SBS. The prevalence of cholelithiasis in patients with SBS has been reported only in two studies. Furthermore, few studies have focused on identifying the risk factors for cholelithiasis in patients with SBS. Considering the marked improvements in medical care and nutrition support during the last 2 decades, the current incidence and risk factors for cholelithiasis in patients with SBS are unknown.

The aim of the current study was to provide comprehensive, longitudinal, and long-term data on the incidence of symptomatic and asymptomatic cholelithiasis in a cohort of patients with SBS, in order to identify the prevalence, risk factors, and clinical consequences of cholelithiasis in patients with SBS to aid in the development of protective interventions.

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?

the incidence of cholelithiasis in patients with SBS (time frame: 2010/1/1-2019/12/31). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04867538, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
