ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new scoring system called ACME, which aims to predict the risk of death in patients with a condition called acute cholecystitis, a common emergency that often requires surgery. The goal of the study is to test whether this scoring system works well in real-world situations and can help doctors make better decisions about who is fit for surgery, especially since some patients may be more fragile and at higher risk.

To be eligible for the trial, participants should be adults aged 65 and older who have been diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis. However, those with other serious conditions like acute cholangitis, chronic cholecystitis, certain cancers, or acute pancreatitis, as well as pregnant individuals, cannot participate. If you join the study, you can expect to have your health evaluated based on the ACME scoring system to see how well it predicts outcomes for patients with this condition. It's important to note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be more details to come as it gets underway.
