Blood markers and recovery after surgery in older patients
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older.
- You must have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) after having surgery.
- You need to have had a complete blood count test (a common blood test) during your ICU stay.
- You must be able to be followed for 30 days after entering the ICU to see how recovery goes.
- You cannot have cancer, a blood disease, or be on immune-suppressing medication.
- You (or a family member) must agree to participate by signing a consent form.

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.
This study looks at how inflammation and brain-related substances in the blood after surgery are linked to confusion (delirium) in older adults. It aims to find early warning signs to prevent this common complication.
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.
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 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 trial tests whether a simple blood test (the capillary leak index) can help doctors better predict how sepsis will progress in people recovering from abdominal surgery. If you are in the ICU after surgery for an abdominal infection, this study may help guide your care.
