Clinical Trial for a Outpatient Clinical Management of Urgent Laparoscopic

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of outpatient management of uncomplicated acute appendicitis. For this purpose, a randomized clinical trial was designed. Selected patients who have undergone surgery for acute appendicitis are randomized into two groups. One group with hospitalization and another group without admission.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of outpatient management of laparoscopic appendicectomy in uncomplicated acute appendicitis. This was a single center randomized controlled clinical trial consisting in 2 treatment groups. Patients were recruited in University Hospital of Tarragona Joan XXIII of Spain. All patients admitted in the emergency department at University Hospital of Tarragona Joan XXIII with acute appendicitis diagnosis were likely to enter in the study. All patients who accomplished at least 4 over 5 of the Saint-Antoine criteria were included. The 5 criteria were: Leukocytosis lower than 15.000; C-Reactive protein lower than 30mg; Body mass index lower than 30kg/m2; appendicular diameter lower than 10mm and no radiological sign of complication. All patients who met the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were admitted to the study for emergency surgery. In order to avoid the biases a unique anesthetic and surgical protocol were established for both groups. Once Laparoscopic appendicectomy was performed the patients were randomly assigned to the hospitalization group or outpatient group. Patients in the hospitalization group were admitted in the hospitalization ward. Patients in the outpatient group were referred to the day-surgery unit where they were discharged according to ALDRETE criteria. The primary endpoint was the length of hospital stay (LHS). The length of hospital stay was calculated from the day and hour of admission in the surgical area to the day and hour of discharge, based on the hours of hospital stay. Secondary endpoints included the failures of the outpatient management, readmissions and the hospitals cost. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
