Blood protein levels may reveal ICU patient prognosis
NCT ID NCT07414160
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow 500 critically ill adults in the ICU to see if changes in a blood protein called prealbumin can predict who will die or get infections. Researchers will track prealbumin levels over time and compare them to patient outcomes. No new treatment is given—participants receive standard care.
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 better monitor nutrition in ICU patients and identify those at higher risk of poor outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may find no clear link between prealbumin changes and patient outcomes, or the results may not apply to all ICU patients.
