What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled This study
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study was designed to observe how incisional hernias develop over time in patients at high risk after emergency abdominal surgery. Researchers planned to use repeated MRI scans to detect hernias early, even before symptoms appear. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Any patient operated with an emergency midline laparotomy in our clinic will be evaluated for enrollment. Patients will be eligible if they comply with the listed inclusion and exclusion criteria. We aim to enroll 100 patients to ensure that 50 patients fulfill the study protocol. This is based on a risk of incisional hernia development of at least 30% over two years among the included high-risk participants, a two-year mortality of the participants as a group of 30% and a 20% loss to follow-up amongst the survivors.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Unscheduled midline laparotomy in an emergency or subacute setting, involving perforated bowel, bowel obstruction, bowel ischemia (due to mesenteric vascular disease or incarceration), inflammatory diseases (e.g. diverticulitis, appendicitis, ulcerative colitis, cholecystitis and Crohn's disease), abscesses, non-traumatic intraabdominal bleeding or any emergency re-operation to elective surgery * Age of 18 years or above * BMI above 27 * At least one risk factor for incisional hernia i.e. earlier midline laparotomy, BMI \> 30, abdominal aortic aneurysm or prior surgery for abdominal aortic aneurysm, active smoking, liver cirrhosis, re-laparotomy, age \> 75, history of primary ventral hernia (treated or untreated before index surgery), large laparotomy involving more than 2/3 of the abdominal wall as measured from the xiphoid process to the pubic bone Exclusion Criteria: * Malign, incurable disease * Other reasons for short life expectancy \<2 year as evaluated by the investigator * Midline-incisions \<15 cm * Mesh augmentation of abdominal wall closure at index surgery or earlier mesh augmentation of the abdominal wall * Severe claustrophobia or any other mental habitus, making it impossible to perform MRI-scan without sedation * Metallic magnetic implants that serves as a contraindication for MRI-scan (including pacemakers, large tattoos, insulin pumps, etc.) * Metallic prosthetic non-magnetic implants that are suspected to create severe artefacts on the MRI-scan of the abdominal wall
