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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study is looking at whether following an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol—a set of steps before, during, and after surgery—is linked to better nutrition and recovery in adults having open heart surgery. Researchers will track how closely patients follow the protocol and measure changes in nutritional risk and frailty. They will also record complications, hospital stay length, and readmissions. The goal is to see if higher ERAS compliance is associated with better outcomes.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ERAS protocol compliance assessment (no therapeutic intervention)
What this could lead to
If a clear link is found, it could support wider use of ERAS protocols to improve recovery and reduce complications after heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by other factors, and the findings may not apply to all heart surgery patients.

Who is studied

The study population will consist of consecutive adult patients aged 18 to 85 years who are scheduled to undergo elective open heart surgery through median sternotomy at Bursa City Hospital. Eligible participants will receive routine perioperative care according to the institutional cardiac surgery ERAS protocol. Participants will be observed prospectively and categorized according to their overall ERAS compliance rate as high (≥80%), moderate (60-79%), or low (\<60%) compliance.
