Study Type: Others,meta-analysis etc

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Teikyo University

Condition: Condition - Postoperative pain management in children undergoing lower abdominal surgery Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To compare general anesthesia plus transversus abdominis plane block with general anesthesia plus caudal block for pediatric lower abdominal surgery and to conduct a cost-utility analysis from the public healthcare payer perspective in Japan. In addition, the study will assess how changes in reimbursement points for nerve block add-on fees affect cost-utility. Basic objectives2 - Others

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - 1 days-old

Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - A model-based target population of children younger than 18 years undergoing lower abdominal or infraumbilical surgery under general anesthesia with either transversus abdominis plane block or caudal block for postoperative analgesia. Clinical effectiveness parameters will be derived from randomized controlled trials and a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the two techniques. Key exclusion criteria - Studies involving adults, studies of procedures substantially different from the intended indication such as thoracic surgery or extensive upper abdominal surgery, studies without a valid comparison between the two techniques, and studies in which key model parameters cannot be extracted. Target Size - 1

Recruitment Status: Recruitment status - Enrolling by invitation Date of protocol fixation - 2026 Year 03 Month 27 Day Date of IRB - 2027 Year 03 Month 27 Day Anticipated trial start date - 2026 Year 03 Month 27 Day Last follow-up date - 2027 Year 03 Month 31 Day
