Hidden clot risk in lung disease patients under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07833254
First seen Sep 22, 2026 · Last updated Sep 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Sohag University are observing 100 adults hospitalized with interstitial lung disease to measure how many develop deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism during their stay. The team will record each patient's clinical characteristics, disease severity, and clot risk factors, then track outcomes such as length of stay, breathing support needs, ICU admission, and in-hospital mortality. The goal is to learn which ILD patients face the highest clot risk so hospitals can improve early detection and prevention.
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 researchers learn which ILD patients face the highest clot risk, hospitals could spot warning signs earlier and tailor prevention or screening to those who need it most.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study at a single center with 100 patients, so the findings may not apply to all hospitals or all ILD patients. It cannot prove that any particular prevention strategy works.
