An observational study in Pancreatic Trauma, Pancreatic Duct Injury and Pancreas Necrosis, sponsored by Kern Medical Center. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-01-29.
Sponsored by Kern Medical Center · Observational
The goal of this observational study is to compare the presentation, treatment, and outcomes in patients suffering traumatic pancreatic injuries from blunt or penetrating trauma.
The questions this study aims to answer are:
Does a statistically significant association exist between pancreatic injury grade and the following individual factors:
Participants meeting criteria are greater than 18 years old, with no history of pancreatic surgery who were hospitalized at Kern Medical Center after presenting to the institution's emergency department as tier 1 or 2 trauma activations following blunt or penetrating abdominal injury and were diagnosed with pancreatic injury during the same hospitalization.
74 studies on the registry are indexed under Pancreatitis, Acute Necrotizing; 19 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 31 is below the median of 100 across 25 observational studies indexed under Pancreatitis, Acute Necrotizing.
