New study tests if a score can help ICU doctors predict who will survive a year on a ventilator

NCT ID NCT06452797

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether giving ICU doctors a special score (ProVent-14) helps them better predict if a patient on a breathing machine for two weeks will survive for a year. About 238 doctors and nurses will participate, each caring for a patient on a ventilator. The goal is to see if the score makes predictions more accurate, which could improve communication with families and end-of-life decisions.
