Risk scores after abdominal surgery for people with health conditions
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how other health problems affect the chance of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. It aims to help doctors better predict risk and decide on the safest care for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery on abdominal (belly) organs
- Your overall health is rated as ASA class 1 to 3
- The study team can fully assess the health factors they plan to measure
- You are not expected to have massive acute blood loss during surgery
- You do not have certain serious breathing or allergy-type complications during care

This study looks at how different levels and types of anemia (low red blood cells) before planned surgery affect your recovery. If you have anemia and are having a moderate- to high-risk surgery (not brain or heart), you may be able to join to help doctors learn how to better prepare patients for surgery.
This study looks at how well the heart pumps blood to predict recovery after abdominal surgery in people 65 and older. It uses an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to measure heart power and a standard score to estimate surgical risk.
This study looks at patients who've had major abdominal, bone, or blood-vessel surgery to understand what factors make some people more likely to have complications afterward. It analyzes information already collected from hospitals to help doctors better predict and prevent problems.
This study looks at ways to lower the chance of heart-related problems after major surgery that is not directly related to the heart. It focuses on people at higher heart risk who are expected to stay in the hospital for at least two days after surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple COPD assessment test score can predict how well patients with stable COPD do after planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand and manage risks for people like you.
This study looks at whether a simple heart rate and blood pressure measure (called the modified shock index) can help predict heart problems after major abdominal surgery. The researchers want to study people who already have heart conditions or risk factors, to see if this index can warn their doctors early.
