Million-Patient data dive aims to make ICU care safer
NCT ID NCT04670744
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at electronic health records from up to 1 million patients who had anesthesia or intensive care at Charité Hospital in Berlin since 2016. Researchers will use data science to find patterns linked to better or worse outcomes, such as survival and recovery. The goal is to learn how to improve care without running new experiments.
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 help hospitals use existing data to improve patient safety and recovery after surgery or intensive care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find clear patterns, and any improvements would need further testing.
