This study looks at what factors affect recovery in people having planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to find out what helps predict a good recovery.
This study looks at blood test results from people having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. It will help doctors understand and improve the use of these tests.
This study looks at how stomach or colon surgery affects the gut's natural barrier, and aims to find ways to detect or treat any problems that may arise.
This study is trying to see if the bacteria in your gut (and their byproducts) can predict whether you might develop kidney injury after heart surgery. By collecting stool and blood samples before surgery, researchers hope to build a better risk model to protect patients.
This study compares a new artificial intelligence tool with traditional methods to predict which patients might have heart-related complications after gastrointestinal surgery. The goal is to find better ways to identify high-risk patients and potentially improve their care.
