Colombian ICU study seeks to unlock secrets of patient survival
NCT ID NCT07249749
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will track 1,000 adults admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in Colombia's Orinoco region to understand why some patients die. Researchers will look at factors like disease type and use a scoring tool called APACHE II to see how well it predicts death. The goal is to improve care and save lives.
