Trial summary

There is a need for a structured registry to collect real-world data on patient characteristics, surgical strategies, perioperative outcomes, and long-term results. Such a registry will provide insights into quality of care, support benchmarking, and form the basis for clinical and translational research. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pancreatic Surgery Registry (PANREG)

There is a need for a structured registry to collect real-world data on patient characteristics, surgical strategies, perioperative outcomes, and long-term results. Such a registry will provide insights into quality of care, support benchmarking, and form the basis for clinical and translational research.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to collect and register all clinical data on patients undergoing pancreatic surgery at Antwerp University Hospital. Data collection will include demographic information, medical history, preoperative workup, surgical details, postoperative outcomes, lab results, pathology results and long-term follow-up.

There is no intervention in this study; patient care will be done according to the current standard of care. The data will be used to further improve patient outcomes, identify risk factors for complications (both patient-specific and procedure-specific), investigate oncological outcomes and long-term patient survival, help predict exocrine and endocrine insufficiency, and identify patient populations in which specific screening for this is indicated.

What is being measured

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

  1. 90-day mortality

    90-day mortality

    Measured: 25 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Establishment of a registry for patients undergoing pancreatic surgery - secondary outcome measures

    • 30-day mortality
    • morbidity, expressed as specific postpancreatectomy complications ( = defined by the ISPGS (International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery), i.e. POPF (postoperative pancreatic fistula), chyle leak, PPH (postpancreatectomy haemorrhage), bile leak and delayed gastric emptying), postoperative complications defined by the Clavien Dindo scoring and the CCI (comprehensive complication index)
    • duration of hospital stay
    • need for postoperative transfusion
    • development of exocrine- or endocrine insufficiency (through systematic postoperative function testing)
    • overall survival
    • disease free survival

    Measured: 25 years

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

90-day mortality (time frame: 25 years). 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 NCT07443761, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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.
