ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how doctors in Sweden treat perforations, or holes, that can occur in the esophagus, stomach, or small intestine. These kinds of injuries can lead to serious health issues, and the study aims to gather information about the treatments used and how effective they are in helping patients survive. Researchers will look at data from adults who were treated for these perforations between January 2005 and August 2023 to improve future care.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old and have suffered a perforation in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Children are not included in this study. While the trial is not currently recruiting participants, those who meet the criteria may be contacted in the future. The findings from this research could lead to better treatment options and improved outcomes for patients facing similar health challenges.
