Overview
The aim of the Calgary Registry for Advanced and Therapeutic Endoscopy (CReATE) is to be a high-fidelity prospective multi-centre registry. The study population consists of consecutive adult ERCP patients from September 2018 to August 2022. Informed consent is acquired for each patient. All relevant pre-procedural, procedural, peri-procedural and post-procedural data are captured in real time by a full-time third-party research assistant directly observing procedures. Outcomes are ascertained by comprehensive medical record review and patient phone interview 30 days after the index procedure. This registry also serves as a secure data collection platform for several currently recruiting prospective studies and randomized trials.
