DRACULA Trial

Invitation to participate in a new study: DRACULA

We all know how challenging the drainage therapy of necrotizing acute pancreatitis can be. Drainage and irrigation regimes seem to vary greatly between centres and literature confirms this impression. For this reason, your colleagues at the LMU Munich would like to investigate the current practice of drainage and irrigation therapy of necrotising pancreatitis in a multicentre retrospective study (DRACULA Trial).

Balancing Women Biliary Pancreatitis (BORN Study)

The Hungarian Pancreas Study Group is continuing its international investigations and invites all researchers to participate in the following study: "Balancing Safety and Effectiveness: A Study on Cholecystectomy in Pregnant Women With Biliary Pancreatitis"

This study aims to systematically analyze the current international practices and consequences of the management of biliary acute pancreatitis in pregnant patients. If you would like to participate in this study, your patient data should be entered anonymously into an Excel file and uploaded to a password-protected website by May 15, 2023. Requests should be sent to Dr. Dorottya Tarján at dori.tarjan@gmail.com
