Plain-language summary

Background: Acute cholecystitis is a frequent cause of visits to the emergency ward. The complications of delays in attention and surgical therapy are substantial and should be considered to prevent them timely. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the assistance provided to patients for cholecystitis in Villavicencio hospitals. Methodology: A retrospective cross-sectional trial will be performed. The source of information will be the surgical database of hospitals at Villavicencio from 2019 to 2022. The records selected will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for debugging and analysis. The central distribution and dispersion of numerical variables will be analyzed, as frequency and proportion of categorical variables with the software Prism 10.01.1 for Mac iOS. Chi-square and U-Mann \& Whitney tests will compare variables according to the data type. A p\<0.05 will be defined as statistically significant. Expected results: the researchers hope to define the frequency of hospital discharges due to acute cholecystitis, the type of procedure performed, complications, and outcomes. Conclusions: The research is feasible because the necessary information is available for evaluation, and it is helpful for the institutions and the region.

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.
