Predicting pancreatitis severity with bowel sounds
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a special device to listen to bowel sounds to help predict how severe acute pancreatitis will be. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at whether routine blood test results can help doctors predict how severe acute pancreatitis will be and how well patients may recover. It aims to find simple, early clues to guide treatment.
This study looks at whether a blood test that combines a type of white blood cell (neutrophil) and a kidney measure (creatinine) can help predict how severe acute pancreatitis is and what the outcome might be for patients.
This study looks at whether an upper endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach and the first part of your small intestine) done within 24-48 hours of being admitted to the hospital can help guide treatment for acute pancreatitis. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a confirmed case of acute pancreatitis and are able to safely undergo this procedure.
This study tests two scoring systems to predict which older adults with acute pancreatitis may have more serious outcomes. The scores use vital signs (like heart rate and blood pressure) and blood calcium levels taken at hospital arrival to help doctors identify high-risk patients early.
This trial tests a special cooling catheter placed in the body to reduce inflammation during severe pancreatitis. It may help patients who are sick enough to need hospital care but have not had pancreatitis before or other major health issues.
This trial looks at how severe acute pancreatitis works by using advanced tests on your body's germs, chemicals, and proteins. It may help find better ways to treat patients with this condition.
