What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 observational study followed over 29,000 patients who received a central venous catheter (a large IV placed in a major vein) to see how often immediate complications like bleeding, collapsed lung, or nerve injury occur. Researchers aim to identify factors that raise the risk of major complications and explore whether a simple risk score can predict them. No new treatments or changes to standard care were tested.

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 study could lead to a risk-estimation tool (CATH-RISK) to help doctors predict and prevent major complications from central line placement.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a trial of a new treatment. It only looks at existing data, so it cannot prove that any change in practice will reduce complications.
