France174 participantsStarted 2015-07-06

Plain-language summary

Colic and rectal resection represents a majority of hospitalizations in visceral surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic of inflammatory markers dosage (CRP, procalcitonin and venous lactate) on the postoperative recovery after colorectal surgery and on the length of stay.

Inclusion Criteria: * Upper age to 18 years * Planned hospital stay for a colonic resection with anastomosis without permanent or temporary digestive bypass * Patient with pre-operative CRP lower or egal to 172 mg/L * No opposition at the participation of the study * Expected patient return home after surgery (or convalescent home or not medicalized institution) Exclusion Criteria: * Patient under guardianship * Protected or private patient freedom * Minor patient * Colectomy surgery with digestive bypass or digestive anastomosis * Complex combined surgery (significantly intestinal resection associated, another surgical procedure that can interfere with postoperative CRP) * General inflammatory disease susceptive to modify dosage values * Anti-inflammatory therapy (AINS/ corticosteroids/ immunosuppressive) * Patient unable to understand the study

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
