Trial Outcomes & Findings for Endometriosis and the Appendix - Incidence and Pathologic Analysis (NCT NCT01921634)

NCT ID: NCT01921634

Last Updated: 2020-10-19

Results Overview

Post-operatively, the proposed second analysis of the appendix, the experimental/investigative portion, will be discussed with the patient in complete detail. If the patient is agreeable, consent will be signed post-operatively. The time from decision to perform two pathologic analysis/consent signing, to the time the pathologic diagnosis is made is anticipated to be approximately 1 week, as this is custom time frame for most pathologic final diagnosis, but up to 6 months, whichever comes first. Data will be analyzed to determine if there is a significant difference in the diagnosis when comparing the standard pathologic analysis to the modified pathologic analysis. Data will be collected for approximately one year, which is the time anticipated to collect 100 specimens.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From time of consent signing for participation in this study to the final pathologic tissue diagnosis, anticipated to be 1 week for final diagnosis or up to 6 months, whichever comes first

Population: Each subject's specimen underwent standard pathological analysis followed by modified pathologic analysis.

Post-operatively, the proposed second analysis of the appendix, the experimental/investigative portion, will be discussed with the patient in complete detail. If the patient is agreeable, consent will be signed post-operatively. The time from decision to perform two pathologic analysis/consent signing, to the time the pathologic diagnosis is made is anticipated to be approximately 1 week, as this is custom time frame for most pathologic final diagnosis, but up to 6 months, whichever comes first. Data will be analyzed to determine if there is a significant difference in the diagnosis when comparing the standard pathologic analysis to the modified pathologic analysis.
