An observational study in Zenker Diverticulum, sponsored by Methodist Health System. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-03-27.
Sponsored by Methodist Health System · Observational
This is a multicenter investigator-initiated trial between Baylor-Scotts \& White (BSW) and Methodist Health System (MHS). This study will be conducted via a retrospective review and a prospective patient registry. Patients who have undergone the ZPOEM procedure performed by the physicians listed in this protocol will be included, as well as patients who will have this procedure in the future. Data that will be collected at MHS will be entered into an Excel spreadsheet. Patient demographic information will be collected via a review of subjects' electronic medical records. Available patient outcomes will be collected via a review of electronic medical records. This review will be conducted from 1/1/2017 through 12/31/2025.

To obtain the follow-up information, potential subjects will be identified using the same process described in the previous paragraph and will be contacted by a member of the institution's research team to answer questions about their symptoms post-surgery. These are listed in the ZPOEM Data Collection Sheet. These questions may be administered over the phone, via email, or by mail. Subjects enrolled in the patient registry will have follow-up data collected at 2-time points: 2 weeks post-op and 3 months post-op.
Primary endpoints and other variables to be collected are those listed on the ZPOEM Data Collection Sheet. Primary subject endpoints include, but are not limited to:
Methodist Health System is the lead sponsor of 170 studies on the registry; 50 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Retrospective chart review / Compartive analyses; t-tests and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whiteney Test; Chi-square or Fisher's exact test; and Pearson correlation coeffecient or Spearman's rank-order correlation
Retrospective review of patient records who have had ZPOEM procedure, compartive analyses will be performed by employing statistical tests such as t-tests and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whiteney Test; Chi-square or Fisher's exact test; and Pearson correlation coeffecient or Spearman's rank-order correlation depdening on the data distribution. Multivariate analyses will be employed with a p-value \<0.05 will indicate statistical significance.
