Predicting survival after gallbladder removal for infected gallbladder
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with acute cholecystitis caused by gallstones (using the Tokyo Guidelines criteria).
- You are scheduled to have your gallbladder removed during this hospital stay (even if surgery starts open or switches from laparoscopic to open).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow all study procedures.
- You have not had pancreatitis with this episode, or your symptoms did not start more than 10 days before surgery.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
This trial compares two ways of checking for and removing stones from the main bile duct during gallbladder surgery. One method uses a special scope (SpyGlass) during the operation, and the other does an MRI first. The goal is to see which approach is better for people with gallstone-related inflammation of the gallbladder who might have stones in the bile duct.
This trial compares a new ultrasound-guided way to drain the gallbladder using an endoscope versus non-endoscopic treatments. It’s for adults with acute gallbladder inflammation (from stones) who cannot have surgery, aiming to reduce complications and improve recovery.
This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
This international study tracks how hospitals treat severe acute gallstone inflammation of the gallbladder (acute calculous cholecystitis) and what outcomes patients experience. Your participation helps doctors understand the best management strategies for this serious condition.
This study tests a new scoring system (called ACME) to predict how well people with sudden gallbladder inflammation and gallstones will do. It helps doctors make better treatment decisions.
