Understanding Hospital Stays After Endoscopy Procedures
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at why some older patients need to stay in the hospital longer after a common digestive procedure called ERCP. Researchers want to understand the factors that affect recovery time, which may help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are able to understand and sign consent forms
- You do not have severe cognitive problems or hearing loss that prevents communication

This study looks at how general health factors (like age and other medical conditions) might affect how long you need to stay in the hospital after a routine stomach or bowel exam called an endoscopy. The goal is to understand which patients may need extra care so hospitals can plan better.
This study looks at how delays in scheduling endoscopy (camera tests inside the digestive tract) during a hospital stay affect how long you stay in the hospital and whether you need to come back within 30 days. It may help hospitals improve care and reduce repeat visits.
This observational study looks at patients who need an ERCP (a scope procedure for the bile ducts, liver, or pancreas). The goal is to create a score that can predict side effects after the procedure, which may help doctors better manage care.
This study looks at ways to improve the quality of ERCP, a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera to look at the bile and pancreatic ducts. It is open to adults who can understand the study information and are having their first ERCP during this hospital stay.
This study looks at how genes and medication processing in the body may relate to getting pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. If you are having an ERCP and meet the criteria, your data and possibly samples may help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study is a registry that collects information about ERCP procedures to improve quality and track any complications. If you have had or are about to have an ERCP, your participation helps doctors make this procedure safer for everyone.
