Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients treated with percutaneous cholecystostomy catheter due to acute cholecystitis will be included in the study. Admission to hospital up to 1 year after the acute cholecystitis attack will be retrospectively screened through the hospital data system. The collected data will be statistically analyzed in SPSS.

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosed with acute cholecystitis on admission to the emergency department
  • Patients treated with percutaneous cholecystostomy catheter according to TK18 acute cholecystitis diagnosis and treatment guideline
  • Patients older than 18 years
  • Patients who can give their own consent

Who cannot join

  • Patients with missing data or not followed up regularly
  • Patients whose cholecystostomy catheter was removed during the operation or operated within the first year following the catheter extraction
  • Patients with choledocholithiasis, abscess secondary to acute cholecystitis, or hepatopancreatobiliary system malignancy
  • Patients who are pregnant

About this study

Percutaneous cholecystostomy is used to reduce the complications and mortality associated with surgery in patients with high surgical risk in acute cholecystitis. Although this method generally acts as a bridge treatment for interval cholecystectomy in patients, interval cholecystectomy is not performed in every patient after percutaneous cholecystostomy. The aim of this study was to determine the recurrence rate of patients who did not have interval cholecystectomy after treatment with percutaneous cholecystostomy and to investigate the factors that may affect the recurrence.

Read the detailed description

Acute cholecystitis is an inflammatory disease of the gallbladder and is often associated with cholelithiasis. According to Tokyo Guide 2018 (TG18), acute cholecystitis is grouped with various risk factors and predictive factors. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy or late cholecystectomy after medical therapy is recommended for patients with grades 1 and 2. On the other hand, non-operative treatments such as percutaneous cholecystostomy catheter and antibiotic therapy are recommended for selected patients with high surgical risk and serious comorbidities in order to prevent morbidity and mortality. They suggested that percutaneous cholecystostomy catheter could be used as the definitive treatment of acute cholecystitis in these high-risk patients who are not suitable for surgery. Debate continues as to whether cholecystectomy is necessary for these patients. Because studies have shown that the recurrence rate of acute cholecystitis after percutaneous cholecystostomy catheter treatment varies between 4% and 22%. For these reasons, assessing the risk of recurrence of acute cholecystitis in patients initially treated with percutaneous cholecystostomy is essential to aid decision making.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • percutaneous cholecystostomyProcedure or surgery

    Transhepatic gallbladder drainage was performed under ultrasound guidance after local anesthesia was administered by interventional radiology to patients with acute cholecystitis. Subsequently, an 8-10 Fr pigtail catheter was inserted into the gallbladder using a guide wire under fluoroscopy.

What is being measured

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

  1. recurrence

    Factors affecting recurrence will be investigated in patients who underwent percutaneous cholecystostomy catheter for acute cholecystitis. These factors; age, gender, comorbidities, presence of fever, history of previous cholecystitis attack, catheter insertion time, catheter drainage time, reproduction in bile culture, gallbladder content, various laboratory parameters, gallbladder wall thickness and diameter, Tokyo classification vs.

    Measured: one year

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

recurrence (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05525442, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Sep 2022.
