NCT ID NCT07374055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether three easy-to-use scoring tools can predict complications and death after gastrointestinal surgery in patients aged 65 and older. Researchers will calculate each patient's nutritional and immune risk before surgery using blood tests and a short questionnaire. The goal is to see which tool best identifies those at higher risk, so doctors can take extra precautions.
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 help doctors identify high-risk elderly patients before surgery, allowing for better preparation and care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The scoring tools may not accurately predict outcomes for all patients, and results may not apply to other hospitals or populations.
