First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether changes in how the pupils react to light can predict recovery in critically ill patients. Researchers will measure pupil responses daily for the first week in the ICU. They aim to see if these measurements relate to how well patients do at discharge and 90 days later.
