About this trial

This study is a multicenter, bidirectional cohort study aimed at continuously enrolling patients with biliary dilatation from 25 medical centers in China. It will collect comprehensive life-cycle data from the cohort to establish a Chinese cohort for IVa biliary dilatation (BD). Based on this cohort, the study seeks to compare the perioperative risks, long-term outcomes, and quality of life of type IVa BD following surgical treatment, to establish standardized surgical treatment strategies for type IVa BD.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Long-term complication-free survival (LCFS)

For patients who have undergone surgical treatment, the occurrences of long-term postoperative complications include recurrent cholangitis, intrahepatic bile duct stones, stenosis of the bilioenteric anastomosis, and other such conditions

Time frame
After 30 or 90 days of surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall perioperative complication rate

The occurrence of perioperative complications, including bile leakage, pancreatic leakage, liver failure, bacteremia, abdominal fluid accumulation, and intra-abdominal infections, among others

Time frame
Within 30 or 90 days postoperatively
2

Malignant transformation rate

The occurrence of malignant transformation associated with bile duct dilatation

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 1 year
3

Mayo Score

Long-term outcome was evaluated according to the dedicated clinical evaluation score reported by the Mayo Clinic: excellent, if the patient remained free of symptoms without further reintervention; good, if the patient had occasional and mild episodes of cholangitis or pancreatitis, which were not impairing the quality of life; fair, if the patient had repeated episodes of cholangitis or pancreatitis,or portal hypertension without further reintervention; poor, if the patient required later biliary or liver-related surgical procedures, developed biliary cirrhosis or complications because of portal hypertension, or died from cyst-related malignancy or liver and biliary-related complications.

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 6 months
4

Severe perioperative complication rate

The occurrence of severe perioperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grading ≥ III), including bile leakage, pancreatic leakage, liver failure, bacteremia, abdominal fluid accumulation, and intra-abdominal infections, among others.

Time frame
Within 30 or 90 days postoperatively
