NCT ID NCT07301359

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study examined medical records from 1,776 adult ICU patients to see if the ratio of two gases in the blood (PaO2/PaCO2) could predict who might die in the ICU. Researchers found that a lower ratio was linked to higher death risk, even after considering other factors like oxygen levels and blood pressure. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.
