A Procalcitonin-based Algorithm in Adhesion-related Small Bowel Obstruction
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
algorithm: clinical examination and procalcitonin assessment
Study summary
Adhesion-related small bowel obstruction is a common digestive emergency that can be managed either conservatively or surgically. However, the choice between these two approaches can be difficult due to the absence of specific signs. The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of a procalcitonin-based algorithm.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- proportion of patients achieving textbook outcome — within 90 days after randomization.
textbook outcome is defined as patients either correctly operated (ischemia confirmed at operation ± resection) or correctly managed conservatively (no need for unplanned surgery) with no major postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo≥3) and a medical length of stay\<5 days (defined as the time at which the patient is medically eligible for discharge), with no postoperative consultation, rehospitalisation and reoperation within 90 days after randomization.
