U.S., March 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07458490) titled 'Predicting Peptic Complications Using H. Pylori Serology and Gastric Ultrasound' on March 04.
Brief Summary: This observational study aims to evaluate whether combining a simple blood test (H. pylori serology) with a non-invasive abdominal ultrasound can accurately predict severe complications in patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD). Peptic ulcer complications, such as stomach bleeding or perforation, are serious and typically require an invasive procedure called an upper endoscopy for diagnosis and treatment.
Researchers want to find out if these two non-invasive tests can be used together to create a reliable risk-scoring sy...
