Blood markers before non-heart surgery
This study looks at certain health markers (called biomarkers) in your blood before surgery. The goal is to see if these markers can help predict how well you recover after non-cardiac surgery, which might improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 40 years old.
- You must be about to have a surgery that is not on the heart, such as abdominal or orthopedic surgery.
- After surgery, you are expected to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form to join the study.

This study checks blood and other lab “biomarkers” during the time before and after major surgeries to see if they can help guide perioperative care. You might be eligible if you are having certain planned heart, lung, GI, or blood-vessel surgeries and can give informed consent.
This study follows people after major surgery to see what predicts heart and blood vessel problems later. It does not test a new drug; it mainly collects health information to help clinicians reduce risk.
This study looks at whether certain blood markers (carbon dioxide and lactate) can help predict confusion or memory problems after heart surgery. If you're having planned heart surgery, the findings may help doctors identify and support patients at higher risk for post-surgery thinking issues.
This study looks at whether certain genetic, blood, and voice markers can help predict early complications after heart surgery. Your participation may help doctors better understand and potentially reduce these risks.
This trial checks a blood test called NT-proBNP (a marker related to heart stress) to help predict outcomes after planned surgery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk so they can tailor monitoring and care.
This study looks at whether certain blood test results (called 'systemic immune inflammation score') after surgery can help predict how well older adults recover over the next 30 days. It aims to better understand who might need extra care during their ICU stay.
