About this study

Official title: Algerian Cholecystectomy Outcomes and Determinants Study

Cholecystectomy, the surgical removal of the gallbladder, is a common procedure performed to treat benign gallbladder diseases such as cholelithiasis (gallstones), cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), and biliary dyskinesia. While generally considered safe, this surgery can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in certain populations or healthcare settings. Understanding these outcomes and the factors influencing them is crucial for improving patient care and surgical practices.

In Algeria, the healthcare landscape presents unique challenges and opportunities for evaluating surgical outcomes. Limited studies have specifically focused on the morbidity and mortality associated with cholecystectomy in this context. This study aims to fill that gap by providing comprehensive data on 30-day postoperative outcomes following cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder diseases in Algeria. Such data is essential for benchmarking current practices, identifying areas for improvement, and ultimately enhancing patient safety and surgical efficacy.

Read the detailed description

This study seeks to bridge this knowledge gap by offering detailed data on 30-day postoperative outcomes after cholecystectomy for benign gallbladder diseases in Algeria. This information is crucial for benchmarking existing practices, pinpointing areas for enhancement, and ultimately improving patient safety and surgical effectiveness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the 30-day mortality and morbidity

    Evaluation of rate of mortality and morbidity at 30 day

    Measured: occuring in of before 30 day postopérative période.

  2. factors associated with 30-day morbidity and mortality

    determinants of the occurence of complications and mortality on or before 30 day in postopérative period

    Measured: occuring in of before 30 day postopérative période.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. estimate the incidence of incidental gallbladder cancer discovered during cholecystectomy in Algeria.

    Measured: postoperative periode ( during or after surgical procedure)

  2. estimate the incidence of bile duct injuries following cholecystectomy for benign diseases

    Measured: occuring in of before 30 day postopérative periode.

  3. assess surgical practices related to cholecystectomy in Algeria.

    Measured: During surgical procedure ( Cholecystectomy)

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2024. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the 30-day mortality and morbidity (time frame: occuring in of before 30 day postopérative période.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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.
