Gene test aims to spot hidden infections after surgery
NCT ID NCT06116656
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether changes in gene activity in blood cells can help doctors tell the difference between a normal inflammatory response after major surgery and a serious infection. Researchers planned to enroll 61 adults undergoing high-risk noncardiac surgery. The study was terminated early, so its findings are limited.
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 simple blood test that helps doctors quickly tell if a patient has an infection or just normal inflammation after surgery.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early, so results are limited. The test is still experimental and may not be accurate enough for routine use.
