NCT ID NCT07286617
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a new scoring system called STAR, which combines a bedside ultrasound and simple blood tests, to predict internal belly injuries in adults who have suffered blunt trauma (like from a car crash or fall). Researchers will enroll 129 adults aged 18-60 who arrive at the hospital within 6 hours of injury. The goal is to see if the STAR score can accurately identify who needs urgent treatment, potentially speeding up care and reducing unnecessary scans.
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 give doctors a fast, reliable tool to spot serious internal injuries early in trauma patients, potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study (129 people) that hasn't started yet. The score may not be accurate enough to replace current methods, and results may not apply to all patients.
