Blood test may predict bypass surgery risks
NCT ID NCT07356219
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a simple score called the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), calculated from routine blood tests, can predict serious complications after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Researchers will review records of 117 patients who had CABG to see if lower PNI scores are linked to problems like kidney injury, heart attack, or wound infections. If it works, this could give doctors an easy way to identify high-risk patients before surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a simple, low-cost tool to identify high-risk patients before heart bypass surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study, so it can only show a link, not prove cause and effect. The results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
