Using computer predictions to assess the risk of fistula after abscess drainage
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses a computer model to predict whether a first-time perianal abscess could lead to an anal fistula after drainage surgery. If you participate, researchers will collect your health data to help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- This must be your first perianal abscess (an infected pocket near the anus).
- You must have had surgery to drain the abscess.
- You cannot have a history of anal fistula (an abnormal tunnel between the anus and skin).
- You cannot have Crohn's disease or be taking immunosuppressive medications (drugs that weaken the immune system).
- You need to be willing to return for follow-up visits for 6 months.

This study follows people having surgery for an anal fistula to see how well they recover. It uses your feedback to measure results, and you'll have check-ins for a year.
This study focuses on people 18 and older who have a perianal abscess that needs surgical treatment. It aims to improve how these abscesses are diagnosed and managed, including care around surgery.
This study tests whether taking antibiotics after having an abscess drained can lower the chance of a fistula forming. A fistula is an abnormal tunnel that can develop after an abscess, and this trial aims to see if antibiotics help prevent it.
This study looks at whether the timing of surgery for an anal fistula affects healing and whether it comes back. If you are planning surgery for a first-time fistula, you may be able to join and help doctors learn the best time to operate.
This study tests whether simple education before your day surgery for an anal fistula helps you feel more prepared and recover better. It focuses on people having this surgery for the first time with local anesthesia.
This study looks at whether cleaning the bowels before a type of fistula surgery called FiLaC helps the healing process. It compares patients who have bowel prep with those who don't, to see if it improves recovery.
