NCT ID NCT07464600

First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study is testing whether a quick finger-prick blood test (CRP point-of-care testing) can predict a serious complication called anastomotic leak after planned colorectal surgery. The researchers will track CRP levels in 500 adults from day 1 to day 5 after surgery to see if changes in these levels can warn doctors early. The goal is to catch leaks sooner, reduce the need for repeated blood draws, and help patients recover faster.
