NCT ID NCT07761845

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether a simple blood test, taken within 24 hours of a severe burn injury, can help predict a patient's chances of surviving the next 30 days. The test measures the ratio of red cell distribution width to albumin levels, which may reflect inflammation and nutritional status. Researchers will follow 30 adult burn patients in the ICU to see if this ratio correlates with mortality and length of stay, potentially offering a quick and easy tool for risk assessment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Red cell distribution width/albumin ratio (RAR) measured from a blood test
What this could lead to
If proven reliable, this simple blood test could help doctors quickly identify burn patients at higher risk of death, guiding more intensive care and potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study (30 patients) that only looks at whether the test predicts outcomes, not whether it improves them. The results may not apply to all burn patients or settings.
