The Impact of a Diagnostic Strategy for Acute Appendicitis in Children With Acute Abdominal Pain in Primary Care
BACKGROUND Acute appendicitis (AA) in an early stage is difficult to distinguish from other (self-limiting) causes of acute abdominal pain (e.g. constipation and gastroenteritis), resulting in missing 19% of children with AA at first presentation in primary care and 70% of non-AA cases among referrals. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact …
Low vs Medium Pressure Pneumoperitoneum
The purpose of this study is to asses whether the pressure used for the pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic surgery in children affects their postoperative pain levels.
Low-dose Contrast Media for Low-kVp Abdomen CT
The purpose of this clinical study is to test the performance of low radiation dose abdominal CT combined with low dose contrast media for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in young patients. The main questions to be answered are: 1, Can low-dose contrast media paired with low-dose radiation CT of …
IA Model for Acute Appendicitis in CT
the investigators's study group has developed a fully automated 3D convolutional neural network (CNN)-based diagnostic framework using information of appendix (IA) model to identify non-appendicitis and simple and complicated appendicitis on CT scan images based on the two-stage binary classification algorithm, as a clinician does for deciding treatment. The dataset …
The Value of Post-operative Antibiotic Therapy After Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Complicated Acute Appendicitis (Other Than for Generalized Peritonitis)
Around 30% of appendectomies are performed for complicated acute appendicitis (CAA, i.e. cases with perforated appendicitis, extraluminal fecaliths, abscesses, or local or generalized peritonitis). The treatment of these complicated forms involves the following steps: initiation of antibiotic treatment at the time of the diagnosis, appendectomy and post-operative antibiotic therapy that …
Same Day Ambulatory Appendectomy (SAMBA)
The potential benefit of outpatient care for this common digestive emergency is considerable, both for the patients themselves and for the public health system: Optimization of the care pathway, reducing the length of stay in hospital (a major issue in the context of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) pandemic) liberating patient …
Protocol Based Selective Imaging Versus Routine Computed Tomography or Ultrasound in Suspected Appendicitis
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare protocol based selective imaging to routine imaging in adult patients with suspected appendicitis. The main question[s] it aims to answer are Does protocol based selective imaging using clinical scoring affect clinical outcome? Does protocol based selective observation combined with score based …
PAINED: Project Addressing INequities in the Emergency Department
Racial and ethnic inequities in health care quality have been described across a broad range of clinical settings, patient populations, and outcomes. Our overarching goal is to eradicate health care inequities through evidence-based interventions. The objectives of this proposal are to develop and test the impact of two interventions on …
APPI-Cost Trial for Perforated Appendicitis
The purpose of this study to assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of povidone-iodine (PVI) irrigation in perforated appendicitis, to investigate barriers and facilitators to future implementation of PVI irrigation, and to collect costs and clinical and patient-reported outcomes among patients with non-perforated appendicitis.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for Complicated Appendicitis
The exploratory objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of an enhanced recovery protocol that will allow adult patients to be discharged to home on an oral antibiotic regimen for three days following a laparoscopic appendectomy for complicated appendicitis. Feasibility will be determined by high …
