Using the SWEET tool to predict how long an ERCP will take

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective observational validation will compare preprocedure SWEET tool estimates to the actual measured durations of ERCPs performed at UZ Brussel. The SWEET tool was derived from a large Swedish registry and uses ten patient- and procedure-related variables to estimate procedure time; here it will be applied to adults undergoing intraductal ERCP, including procedures performed by fellows under supervision. ERCPs in altered anatomy and those combined with therapeutic EUS are excluded from this validation. The primary outcome is the accuracy of the predicted times compared with observed times, reported with standard metrics such as RMSE.
