What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study investigates whether digital biometrics and blood-based markers can help detect, predict, and track delirium in older adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Participants wear a digital device to collect data like activity and heart rate, and provide blood samples during their ICU stay. Researchers also assess delirium daily using a standard tool. The goal is to find new ways to identify delirium earlier and improve care for critically ill older patients.

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 better ways to detect and predict delirium in ICU patients, potentially improving outcomes and reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not identify reliable biomarkers, and findings may not apply to all ICU patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
