Trial summary

Pancreatic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (P-ESWL) is recommended as the first-line treatment for pancreatic stones. However, how well P-ESWL performs in geriatric patients remains unclear. The investigators aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of P-ESWL for geriatric patients with chronic pancreatitis. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for Geriatric Patients With Chronic Pancreatitis

Pancreatic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (P-ESWL) is recommended as the first-line treatment for pancreatic stones. However, how well P-ESWL performs in geriatric patients remains unclear. The investigators aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of P-ESWL for geriatric patients with chronic pancreatitis.

Read the detailed description

This prospective observational study was conducted in patients with painful chronic pancreatitis who underwent P-ESWL. Patients aged over 65 years were included in the geriatric group; patients aged under 65 years who underwent P-ESWL in the same period were assigned to the control group. For investigation of long-term follow-up, the geriatric group were matched with patients from the control group in a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcomes were P-ESWL complications and pain relief. The secondary outcomes included: stone clearance, physical and mental health, quality of life score, and body weight.

Pancreatitis, Chronic

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. P-ESWL complications

    The complications after P-ESWL. Including post-ESWL pancreatitis, bleeding, infection, steinstrasse, and perforation. The degree of these complications will also be measured.

    Measured: April 30, 2016

  2. Pain relief by the end of follow-up period

    Participants will be followed up annually either by return visit or telephone call. Condition of abdominal pain or acute pancreatitis attack during follow-up will be measured. Pain relief at the end of the follow-up period was classified as complete relief (Izbicki pain score≤10) or partial relief (Izbicki pain score >10 after a decrease of >50%)

    Measured: April 30, 2018

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Stone clearance as assessed by ERCP performed post-ESWL

    Stone clearance was evaluated at the ERCP performed post-ESWL, with complete clearance defined as clearance of >90% of the main pancreatic duct stone volume, whereas partial clearance was defined as clearance of 50%-90% of the stone volume.

    Measured: April 30, 2016

  2. Physical and mental health assessed by SF-36 questionnaire

    Physical and mental health after treatment were assessed according to the scores on the SF-36 questionnaire.

    Measured: April 30, 2018

  3. Quality of life score assessed by the patient

    Quality of life score after treatment were assessed by the patient and ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life.

    Measured: April 30, 2018

  4. Body weight

    Body weight after treatment

    Measured: April 30, 2018
