ClinConnect Summary

The SCOPE trial is a study designed to better understand skin health around ostomies, which are openings created in the body for waste removal, including ileostomies, colostomies, and urostomies. Researchers will collect photos of these stomas (the part of the body where the waste comes out) to compare the images and evaluate skin conditions digitally instead of just through in-person visits. This could help improve care for people with ostomies.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be at least 18 years old and have an ileostomy, colostomy, or urostomy. They also need to be willing to provide consent to participate. However, individuals with two or more ostomies or specific complications related to their stomas, like enterocutaneous fistulae, won't be able to join. Although the study is not yet recruiting participants, it aims to gather important information that could lead to better management and care for people with these types of surgeries.
