A Procalcitonin-based Algorithm in Adhesion-related Small Bowel Obstruction

Impact of a Procalcitonin-based Algorithm on Quality of Management in Patients With Uncomplicated Adhesion-related Small Bowel Obstruction Assessed by Textbook Outcome: a Multicenter Cluster-randomized Open-label Controlled Trial. (ALPROC)

Sponsor

Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

small bowel obstruction

Summary

Adhesion-related small bowel obstruction is a common digestive emergency that can be managed either conservatively or surgically. However, the choice between these two approaches can be difficult due to the absence of specific signs. The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of a procalcitonin-based algorithm.
