Clinical Trial: Prevalence of Colon Cancer in Pyogenic Liver Abscess

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Official Title: The Prevalence of Colonic Neoplasm in Cryptogenic Pyogenic Liver Abscess

Brief Summary: Although a proportion of pyogenic liver abscess may originated from colonic mucosal lesions, the prevalence of colonic neoplasm in the patients with pyogenic liver abscess are still not evaluated yet. Thus, our group will find the prevalence of colonic neoplasm in the group of cryptogenic pyogenic liver abscess by colonoscopic examination.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Inje University

Current Primary Outcome: The prevalence of colonic neoplasm [ Time Frame: within 6 weeks after diagnosis of pyogenic liver abscess ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Prevalence of colon polyp [ Time Frame: Within 6 weeks at diagnosis of pyogenic liver abscess ]
  • Prevalence of colonic diverticulitis [ Time Frame: Within 6 weeks at diagnosis of pyogenic liver abscess ]
  • Prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease [ Time Frame: Within 6 weeks at diagnosis of pyogenic liver abscess ]
  • Prevalence of intestinal tuberculosis [ Time Frame: Within 6 weeks at diagnosis of pyogenic liver abscess ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Prevalence of colon polyp, colonic diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal tuberculosis [ Time Frame: Within 6 weeks at diagnosis of pyogenic liver abscess ]
