Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to save the ischemic bowel. Clinical findings of secondary intestinal ischaemia are related to the underlying cause e.g. vomiting and palpable hernia. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) can effectively visualize the causes. In contrast, the diagnosis of primary intestinal ischemia is often delayed due to the absence of specific clinical findings. Primary intestinal ischemia is visualized with CT ateriography, revealing mesentery arterial obstruction. However, in the acute setting a non-arterial phase CT is often performed but the findings are unspecific in the early stages and the pattern of findings which could indicate primary ischemia are not well understood. In primary and secondary ischemia, standard blood-based parameters are inconsistently elevated and highly unspecific. Newer blood-based parameters such as D-lactate has been proposed as ischaemic markers. D-lactate is produced by bacteria in the bowel lumen and translocation through a damaged bowel wall makes it a potential marker of intestinal ischemia.
A case-control-study of all acute admitted patients with abdominal pain in Aalborg, Denmark in the mentioned time range. The sensitivity and specificity of potiential biomarkers in a blood sample at time of admission as a marker of intestinal ischaemia will be examined.
