NCT ID NCT07621848

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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looked at 150 people with dengue fever to see if abdominal ultrasound findings, like gallbladder thickening or fluid in the belly, are linked to low platelet counts—a sign of severe disease. Researchers reviewed medical records and ultrasound images to find patterns that might help doctors spot serious cases early. The goal is to make ultrasound a practical tool for managing dengue in places where resources are limited.

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 research could help doctors use ultrasound to identify dengue patients at risk of severe complications earlier, especially in areas with limited resources.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study that only looks back at existing records, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all dengue patients or settings.

Who is studied

The study population consisted of patients with confirmed dengue infection who presented to healthcare facilities in Kassala, Sudan, between July 2024 and February 2025. All included patients had undergone abdominal ultrasonography as part of their clinical evaluation. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were retrospectively collected and analyzed to assess the relationship between ultrasound findings and disease severity.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)
