Platelet size as early warning for cancer ICU patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the size of platelets in your blood when you enter the intensive care unit (ICU) can help predict your chances of recovery. It focuses on adults with cancer who are in the ICU for more than 24 hours and aims to find early signs of risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a confirmed cancer diagnosis (solid tumor or blood cancer)
- You were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between 2020 and 2025
- You stayed in the ICU for more than 24 hours
- Your medical records are complete, including a blood test taken when you entered 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.
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 measures a specific blood protein (carbohydrate-deficient transferrin) when patients arrive at the hospital to see if it can predict how well they'll do in the intensive care unit. Understanding this marker might help doctors better plan care for critically ill patients.
This study helps doctors predict which cancer surgery patients will need intensive care after their operation. By understanding these patterns better, hospitals can prepare resources and plan better care for patients like you.
This trial tests whether giving platelet transfusions to critically ill patients with very low platelet counts helps prevent bleeding. If you are in the ICU with low platelets and need life support, this study may be relevant to you.
This study tests whether routine blood tests (platelet indices) can help predict dangerous blood clots in the legs (deep vein thrombosis) in people who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit (ICU). If you are in the ICU and have been on a ventilator for at least two days, joining this study may help doctors learn more about your risk for clots.
