Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Internal Cohort: Patients who received major abdominal surgery in each participating hospital before June 2024. External Cohort: Patients who received major abdominal surgery, received general anesthesia, and were aged 18 years or older from 2008 to 2019. The data was extracted from the MIMIC - IV (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care, 2.2 version) database.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
  • The surgeon performing the operation has extensive experience in specialized surgeries such as upper gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and pancreatic, colorectal, gynecological, and urological surgeries, having completed at least 50 corresponding specialized surgical cases.
  • The anesthesiologist performing the operation has more than 5 years of clinical experience.
  • All surgical patients receive general anesthesia.
  • Patients are aged ≥ 18 years. Exclusion Criteria:
  • 1. Pregnancy-related surgeries (cesarean section, abortion surgery). 2. Patients with known preoperative infection or suspected infection. 3. Severely malnourished patients (BMI reference values are 17 kg/m² for patients < 70 years old and 17.8 kg/m² for patients > 70 years old).
  • 4. Patients who have previously undergone abdominal surgery. 5. Patients without sufficient data, including demographic variables (such as age, gender), surgical details (surgery duration, surgical grade, anesthesia grade, anesthesia duration), and hospitalization details (such as ICU stay, in-hospital mortality).

Who cannot join

None listed.

About this study

Official title: Construction of AI-enabled Models for Predicting the Risk of Sepsis After Major Abdominal Surgery: a Retrospective Multicenter Clinical Study

The goal of this observational study is to identify the risk factors and build the early warning system of sepsis and septic shock after major abdominal surgery based on artificial intelligence. The main questions it aims to answer are:

What are the high risk factors of postoperative sepsis? Which factors can accelerate the progression of sepsis? Researchers will collect perioperative characteristics to construct predictive models of postoperative sepsis in a retrospective abdominal surgical population based on artificial intelligence, and the accuracy of the models were tested in an external dataset.

Being tested
Exposure to major abdominal surgery
Medical subject headings
Sepsis, Postoperative Complications

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Exposure to major abdominal surgeryProcedure or surgery

    This study is a retrospective cohort study. The 'exposure' situation is based on historical records and observation, and no active intervention has been conducted on the study subjects to change their exposure status.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sepsis within 28 days after surgery.

    For patients within 28 days after surgery, if there is a recorded or suspected infection and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is ≥ 2 points, sepsis can be diagnosed. For sepsis patients, if they still have persistent hypotension after adequate volume resuscitation and require vasopressor drugs to maintain a Mean Atrial Pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg and a serum lactate level > 2 mmol/L, it is considered that the sepsis patient has progressed to septic shock.

    Measured: In the 28-day period following surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sepsis and Postoperative Complications, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sepsis within 28 days after surgery. (time frame: In the 28-day period following surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Nov 2024.
