NCT ID NCT07458867
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will track 500 adults hospitalized with a blocked large bowel across multiple countries. Researchers will collect data on how each hospital diagnoses and treats the blockage, whether with surgery or other methods, and what happens to patients within 30 days. The goal is to understand current practices and identify factors linked to better outcomes, since high-quality evidence is still limited.
