Measuring outcomes in acute cholangitis
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people recover from acute cholangitis, a serious bile duct infection. It will create a tool to track the impact of treatment, such as drainage procedures, to help doctors improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Planned or already had a procedure to drain the bile duct, such as ERCP, PTBD, or EUS-BD

This trial studies how having a bile duct infection affects the timing of replacing plastic stents in patients with jaundice. It may help doctors decide when to change stents to prevent complications.
This study tests whether a new drainage method can help prevent acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) in people who need a bile duct procedure. If you are at risk for gallbladder issues, this approach might reduce complications.
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 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.
This trial compares two minimally invasive ways to drain an infected gallbladder when you are too sick or not a candidate for surgery. It will help determine which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial studies how doctors should best check and manage people with suspected bile duct stones. It may help improve the accuracy and safety of next-step testing and treatment.
