What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

Researchers are testing FedHist, an artificial intelligence model that estimates a critically ill patient's risk of dying in the ICU within the next 24 hours. The model uses routinely collected clinical information and updates its estimate every six hours. The study enrolls adults admitted to intensive care units across several hospitals and compares FedHist's predictions with what actually happens to patients. The goal is to learn whether the model predicts accurately across hospitals with different patient populations and practices.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
FedHist, an artificial intelligence model that estimates ICU mortality risk
What this could lead to
If FedHist proves accurate across hospitals, it could give ICU teams an early warning tool to identify patients at higher risk of dying and adjust care sooner.
What could go wrong
The model may not predict equally well in hospitals with different patient populations or practices, and its estimates could be wrong in either direction. This study tests accuracy, not whether acting on the predictions saves lives.
