Blood tests to predict death risk after surgery in the ICU
This study is looking at whether certain blood tests can help predict the risk of death after surgery in ICU patients. If you have had surgery and are now in the ICU, your blood samples may help doctors learn more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years old or older

- You have complete medical records from when you entered the ICU and 24 hours later
- You or a family member/legal guardian can give permission (informed consent)

This study is testing two different simple blood tests to see which one better predicts sepsis (a severe infection response) and outcomes in ICU patients after surgery or trauma. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients sooner and improve care.
This study aims to create a tool to predict survival in older adults (75+) who are admitted to the ICU from the emergency room. It may help doctors better understand individual risks and make more informed care decisions.
This study follows patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are there because of surgery or a surgical problem. It helps doctors understand and improve care for people in your situation.
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.
