What this Trial Is About

The Calgary Registry for Advanced and Therapeutic Endoscopy CReATE is a high-quality, prospective study collecting data on adult patients undergoing Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography ERCP for biliary and pancreatic diseases. The registry aims to gather detailed information from multiple centers to better understand outcomes and complications related to this advanced endoscopic procedure. Participants undergo ERCP, an endoscopic procedure used to access biliary and pancreatic structures. The study observes patients consecutively from September 2018 to August 2022, capturing all relevant data before, during, and after the procedure. This includes procedural details and patient outcomes, serving also as a platform for additional prospective studies and randomized trials. During the study, a full-time research assistant collects real-time data by observing procedures directly. Participants are followed up with medical record reviews and phone interviews 30 days after the procedure to assess outcomes such as unplanned healthcare visits and procedure-related complications including pancreatitis, bleeding, and infections. The registry monitors technical success immediately and tracks patients health for up to 30 days post-procedure, contributing to ongoing research until the study ends in 2030.
