Summary

This study reviewed the medical records of 504 adults hospitalized with small bowel obstruction to see how using a water-soluble contrast study affected their care. The goal was to find ways to improve patient safety, shorten hospital stays, and reduce complications. Because it is a retrospective review, it can identify patterns but cannot prove that the contrast study directly caused better outcomes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
water-soluble contrast
What this could lead to
If successful, this review could help hospitals adopt better management strategies for small bowel obstruction, potentially reducing complications and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a retrospective review, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

Previous studies found on an average 3.9 to 9.4% patient suffer from SBO. The disease incidence varies depending on the cause of obstruction. Assuming that 3.9% of the patients will be affected by SBO, the study would require a sample size of 504 for estimating the expected proportion with 3% absolute precision and 95% confidence.

Ages

18 to 89 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.
