NCT ID NCT06804200

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study is testing whether a computer algorithm can accurately predict acute kidney injury in children admitted to the intensive care unit. Researchers will enroll 800 children and use the algorithm to assess risk, but the results will not be shared with doctors during the study. The goal is to see if the tool can identify kidney problems earlier than current methods.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a reliable early warning system for kidney injury in children in intensive care, allowing doctors to intervene sooner.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The algorithm may not be accurate enough in real-world use, and results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.
