NCT ID NCT04663958
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a tool called the ARISCAT score can predict lung complications (like pneumonia or collapsed lung) after major abdominal cancer surgery. Researchers followed 410 adults who had surgery under general anesthesia. The goal was to see if the score could help doctors identify high-risk patients early.
