External validation of the ACME scoring system for acute cholecystitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a scoring system called ACME can accurately identify patients with acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation). It aims to improve how this condition is diagnosed and managed, potentially leading to better treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have acute calculous cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation with gallstones).
- You do not have acute cholangitis (infection of the bile ducts).
- You do not have chronic cholecystitis (long-term gallbladder inflammation).
- You do not have any neoplasia (tumor or cancer).
- You do not have acute pancreatitis (sudden pancreas inflammation).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how older adults (70+) with acute gallbladder inflammation respond to different treatments over one year. It aims to find the best approach for this age group.
This study tests whether a new type of quick MRI scan can reliably detect acute cholecystitis—sudden inflammation of the gallbladder. If it works well, doctors may be able to diagnose this condition faster and help patients get treatment sooner.
This trial looks at whether it is safe to delay treatment for a gallbladder infection in patients who have already had a special stent placed to drain the gallbladder. Patients who are too sick for surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either antibiotics with monitoring or immediate gallbladder removal.
This trial compares two minimally invasive ways to drain an infected gallbladder when you are too sick or not a candidate for surgery. It will help determine which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
This Phase 3 study compares two approaches for people with gallstone-related acute gallbladder inflammation: a procedure called EUS drainage versus antibiotic treatment alone. It may help you avoid early surgery if you are considered high risk for immediate gallbladder removal.
This study is testing a tool to predict survival after gallbladder removal for people with acute cholecystitis caused by gallstones. By joining, you help doctors better assess risk and improve care for future patients.
