Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• SBO resolution at admission

  Patients who have been admitted. The primary outcome measure is SBO resolution within hospitalisation. Usually the conservative treatment is safe and feasible if no alarming symptoms (suggesting bowel ischaemia) are present (but can be prolonged op to 120 hours). Guidelines suggest conservative management up to 72 hours, but no clear guideline is present. The resolution will be assessed clinically- return of bowel movement and passing of gas or radiologically- CM in the large bowel in the follow-through.
