Clinical Trial: Data-driven Clustering in Hemorrhoid Surgery: Retrospective Monocentric Study for the Identification of Clinical Phenotypes

U.S., Feb. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07427927) titled 'Data-driven Clustering in Hemorrhoid Surgery: Retrospective Monocentric Study for the Identification of Clinical Phenotypes' on Feb. 05.

Brief Summary: This retrospective, single-center observational study will use routinely collected perioperative data from adults undergoing surgery for symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease to identify data-driven clinical phenotypes. Unsupervised machine learning will be applied to characterize clusters of patients based on demographic, clinical, anatomical, and surgical variables.
