Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial of Indomethacin in Acute Pancreatitis (NCT NCT02692391)

NCT ID: NCT02692391

Last Updated: 2021-04-22

Results Overview

SIRS is a simple clinical score, ranging from 0-4, that utilizes objective, routine clinical parameters (body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate or arterial carbon dioxide tension and white blood count) that directly reflect the underlying inflammatory response. A lower change in SIRS score (negative number) indicates a better outcome (less inflammation).

Standard Deviation 1.24

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 48 hours

CRP levels at 48 hours after enrollment minus CRP levels at enrollment (baseline). A negative number indicates a better outcome (less inflammation).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 days

Including respiratory, renal and cardiovascular failures defined as modified Marshal score of equal and greater than 2. The minimum and maximum values in the modified Marshal score for each organ failure range from 0 to 4 with a higher value representing worse outcomes.
