Improving death risk scores in the intensive care unit
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether adding a simple gut-related score to a standard ICU health score can better predict a patient's risk of dying in the ICU. If you are staying in the ICU for at least a day, this research might help improve care for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 24 hours.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- Your main reason for being in the ICU should not be a stomach or bowel problem (like recent stomach surgery).
- Your care plan should not be limited to comfort care only within the first day.

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 tests a scoring system called pSOFA to help doctors predict how likely a child in intensive care is to recover. It aims to provide better information to families about their child's condition.
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 your immune system and inflammation affect your recovery in the intensive care unit. Researchers want to understand why some patients do better than others.
This study looks at patients who develop bleeding in the stomach or intestines while in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to understand how common this is and what factors might be involved, which could help improve care for future patients.
This study looks at ways to make ICU scoring systems more accurate for predicting patient outcomes. It may help doctors better understand how sick someone is and what care they might need.
