New tool aims to predict ERCP length, cut hospital delays
NCT ID NCT07259395
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a tool called SWEET that predicts how long an ERCP procedure will take. ERCP is a procedure that uses a camera and X-rays to treat bile duct problems. The tool uses patient and procedure details to estimate time. Researchers will compare its predictions to doctors' estimates and actual procedure times in 363 adults.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this tool could help hospitals schedule ERCP procedures more accurately, reducing wait times and improving resource use.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study, so the tool may not prove more accurate than doctors' estimates. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.
