AI may predict transfusion needs to shield ICU patients from organ failure
NCT ID NCT07762131
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence model can predict which critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are at risk of developing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), a serious complication where two or more organs fail. Researchers will collect data from about 2,600 adult ICU patients, including lab results, vital signs, and transfusion details, to build and validate the AI model. The goal is to help doctors make more precise transfusion decisions, potentially reducing organ failure and improving outcomes. This is an observational study, meaning no treatments are assigned—the AI model is being developed and tested using existing patient data.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Red blood cell transfusion exposure (observational, no intervention)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a personalized transfusion decision-support tool that helps doctors reduce organ failure and improve survival in ICU patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can only find associations, not prove cause and effect. The AI model may not work perfectly in all hospitals or patient groups.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
This study includes adult critically ill patients admitted to intensive care units. Clinical data including demographic characteristics, underlying diseases, severity indicators, laboratory parameters, transfusion-related information, and clinical outcomes will be collected from electronic medical records. The study population will be used to develop an artificial intelligence-based prediction model for precision transfusion management and risk assessment of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in critically ill patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) admitted to the intensive care unit. * Patients with available clinical data, including demographic characteristics, laboratory parameters, transfusion-related information, and clinical outcomes. * Patients meeting the requirements for model development and analysis. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients younger than 18 years. * Patients with missing key clinical information required for analysis. * Patients with repeated ICU admissions during the study period (only the first ICU admission will be included). * Patients whose data cannot be used for research purposes according to ethical requirements.
