Predicting recovery in older adults with acute pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether simple health checks at the hospital can help predict how older adults with acute pancreatitis will recover. It may help doctors provide better care and information to you or your loved one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older.

This study checks if a simple blood test measuring two substances, called the neutrophil–creatinine index, can help predict how severe your pancreatitis is and how you will recover. If you have acute pancreatitis, this could help doctors understand your condition better.
This study looks at whether simple blood test results can help doctors understand how severe your acute pancreatitis is and how well you might recover. By tracking these blood markers, doctors hope to better predict outcomes for future 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 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.
This study compares two ways of managing mild acute pancreatitis: being treated at the hospital (inpatient) versus going home with careful monitoring (outpatient). It aims to see if home care is safe and as effective as hospital care for people with mild symptoms.
This study tests whether giving IV fluids based on how your heart responds can improve recovery from acute pancreatitis, compared with usual care. It may help your body handle fluids better during treatment.
