First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study creates a large, anonymized database of routine hospital records from up to 750,000 adult patients. Researchers will use this data to develop and test computer models that predict serious outcomes like death, unexpected ICU admission, or cardiac arrest. The goal is to improve how hospitals identify and care for high-risk patients.
