NCT ID NCT07601802

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a machine learning model that uses electronic health records to predict which cancer patients receiving infusion therapy are at risk of needing emergency care or hospitalization within 30 days. Researchers analyzed data from over 4,700 patients at UCSF. The goal is to help doctors provide extra support to high-risk patients and prevent unplanned hospital visits.

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 model could help doctors identify cancer patients at high risk of needing emergency care, allowing earlier supportive interventions to prevent hospital visits.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study using existing medical records, not a treatment trial. The model may not work as well in other hospitals or patient groups, and it does not directly improve patient outcomes.
