RECRUITING

Developing a Decision Tool for Diverticulitis in the Emergency Department Using Ultrasound

Conditions

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to create a decision tool using ultrasound, patient history, and laboratory values to predict a diagnosis of complicated diverticulitis and whether the patient requires further imaging. The accuracy of the decision tool will be evaluated. This study will also assess the ability of ultrasound to diagnose complicated and simple diverticulitis, and the inter-provider reliability of ultrasound interpretation of diverticulitis
