Colombian ICU study seeks clues to trauma deaths
NCT ID NCT07208110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at records of 500 patients admitted to intensive care units in Colombia to find out what factors are linked to death after severe trauma. Researchers will compare trauma patients with other ICU patients using a discharge database. The goal is to better understand why some trauma patients die, which could help improve care in the future.
