AI takes on Pre-Surgery checkups: will it match the doctor?
NCT ID NCT07290647
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can accurately assess patients before surgery. 270 adults scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgeries will use the AI to answer questions about their health. A doctor will then do a standard evaluation without seeing the AI's results. A third doctor will compare both assessments to see how well they agree. The goal is to see if AI can help make pre-surgery preparation safer and more efficient.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-based pre-anesthetic assessment tool
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this AI tool could help streamline pre-surgery assessments, making them more efficient and accessible in Brazilian hospitals.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with only 270 patients at one hospital. The AI may not match human judgment, and results may not apply to other settings.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (aged ≥ 18 years) scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgeries at two tertiary hospitals in Brazil. This population represents a typical cohort in a Brazilian public health system context, including individuals with varying comorbidities and surgical needs, such as those arising from the backlog of procedures in the Unified Health System (SUS) due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus is on patients requiring pre-anesthetic assessment for non-emergent, non-cardiac interventions, reflecting common surgical demands in digestive, genitourinary, circulatory, and upper airway/head/neck procedures. The estimated sample size is 270 participants to ensure adequate statistical power for evaluating the concordance between AI-based and human pre-anesthetic assessments.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 18 years or older * Patients scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgeries Exclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing diagnostic procedures with isolated sedation or local anesthesia * If a patient undergoes more than one surgical intervention during the same hospitalization, only the major procedure will be considered (i.e., additional procedures during the same admission are not eligible for separate inclusion).
