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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This completed study tested whether an AI system could improve how ventilators are set for children (ages 1 month to 18 years) in the pediatric ICU with breathing problems like pneumonia or respiratory failure. Researchers compared AI-generated recommendations to the actual adjustments made by doctors for 2,000 patients. The main goal was to see if AI guidance led to more days alive and free from the ventilator within 28 days.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
AI-assisted decision support system
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that AI helps doctors make better ventilator decisions for critically ill children, potentially reducing time on breathing machines and complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove cause and effect. The AI's recommendations were compared to actual doctor decisions, but many factors could influence outcomes.
