Spit test may predict lung injury severity in kids
NCT ID NCT07380373
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 37 children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are on breathing machines. Researchers want to see if measuring certain inflammation markers in saliva works as well as measuring them in fluid from the lungs. If saliva works, it could lead to a simpler, less invasive way to track disease severity and predict outcomes like recovery time or survival.
