What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

A spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a serious type of stroke caused by bleeding inside the brain. Doctors have limited tools to predict how an individual patient will recover. This study follows 300 adults treated at three hospitals in Slovenia and Austria from the acute phase through 12 months. Researchers collect clinical exams, brain scans, routine lab results, and blood samples for markers of brain injury and inflammation, then check survival, function, pain, and quality of life at 6 and 12 months. The goal is to build a model that combines these measures to estimate a patient's functional outcome a year later.

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 it works, the model could help doctors give families a clearer picture of likely recovery after a brain bleed and guide rehabilitation planning.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove that any treatment works. A prediction model built from 300 patients at three hospitals may not fit patients elsewhere, and it may not predict outcomes accurately enough to guide care.
