About this study
Official title: WONDERFUL Registry: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study of Local Complications of Acute Pancreatitis and Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula
This multicenter prospective observational registry will evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of adults with local complications of acute pancreatitis or postoperative pancreatic fistula. Data generated during routine clinical care, including patient characteristics, imaging findings, treatments, adverse events, recurrence, and clinical outcomes, will be collected. Treatment is determined by the treating physicians and is not assigned by the study protocol.
Read the detailed description
Local complications of acute pancreatitis, including pancreatic and peripancreatic fluid collections, may require conservative management, endoscopic or percutaneous drainage, necrosectomy, or surgery. Similar fluid collections may occur after pancreatic surgery as a result of postoperative pancreatic fistula. Evidence regarding treatment selection, timing, and outcomes remains limited because individual centers encounter relatively few cases.
This prospective multicenter registry will collect clinical, laboratory, imaging, treatment, and outcome data generated during routine care. The primary objective is to evaluate clinical success within 180 days after enrollment. Secondary objectives include technical success, adverse events, additional interventions, recurrence, mortality, and healthcare utilization.
Exploratory analyses will evaluate patient, disease, imaging, and treatment factors associated with clinical outcomes. No diagnostic or therapeutic intervention is assigned by the study protocol.
- Being tested
- Routine Clinical Management of Local Complications
- Keywords
- acute peripancreatic fluid collection, acute necrotic collection, walled-off necrosis, pancreatic pseudocyst, endoscopic drainage, percutaneous drainage, necrosectomy, postoperative pancreatic fistula
- Medical subject headings
- Pancreatitis, Pancreatic Pseudocyst
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Routine Clinical Management of Local ComplicationsProcedure or surgery
Participants receive routine clinical management selected by their treating clinicians. Management may include conservative treatment, endoscopic or percutaneous drainage, necrosectomy, stent placement, or surgery when clinically indicated. No diagnostic or therapeutic procedure is assigned by the study protocol.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Patients With Local Complications of Acute Pancreatitis or Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula | Adults receiving routine clinical care for local complications of acute pancreatitis or postoperative pancreatic fistula. Management may include conservative care, endoscopic or percutaneous intervention, or surgery. No intervention is assigned by the study. Receives: Procedure: Routine Clinical Management of Local Complications |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of Participants Achieving Clinical Success Within 180 Days
Clinical success is defined as resolution of the symptoms and clinical signs that required treatment, together with resolution or marked reduction of the target fluid collection on follow-up imaging. For infection-related cases, improvement in at least two of body temperature, white blood cell count, and C-reactive protein is required.
Measured: Within 180 days after enrollment
Secondary outcomes (7)
Proportion of Participants With Technical Success of the Initial Intervention
Technical success is defined as successful completion of the intended endoscopic, percutaneous, or surgical procedure. This measure will be assessed only among participants who undergo an intervention.
Measured: On the day of the initial intervention (1 day per participant)
Procedure-Related Adverse Events
Proportion of participants experiencing an adverse event considered related to an endoscopic, percutaneous, or surgical procedure.
Measured: Within 180 days after enrollment
Need for Additional Intervention
Proportion of participants requiring an additional endoscopic, percutaneous, or surgical intervention for the index local complication.
Measured: Within 180 days after enrollment
Recurrence of the Target Fluid Collection
Proportion of participants with recurrence of a symptomatic target fluid collection requiring treatment after initial clinical success.
Measured: Within 180 days after enrollment
All-Cause Mortality
Proportion of participants who die from any cause.
Measured: Within 180 days after enrollment
Number of Interventions
Total number of endoscopic, percutaneous, and surgical interventions performed for the index local complication.
Measured: Within 180 days after enrollment
Total Duration of Hospitalization
Total number of inpatient days related to management of the index local complication.
Measured: Within 180 days after enrollment
