New model aims to predict heart damage after liver surgery
NCT ID NCT07335042
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is building a prediction model to estimate the risk of heart injury after major liver surgery. Researchers will track 1800 patients undergoing hepatobiliary surgery and analyze factors like surgical technique and routine blood tests. The goal is to create a tool that helps doctors identify high-risk patients and make safer surgical decisions.
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 reliable tool to predict and prevent heart complications after major liver surgery, improving patient safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The model may not be accurate enough for all patients, and it won't directly change outcomes without further testing.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Adults (18-85 yr, ASA physical status II-III) undergoing major hepatobiliary surgery were enrolled. Major surgery was defined as duration ≥ 3 h involving hepatectomy (≥ 3 segments) or biliary reconstruction necessitating ICU admission. Eligibility required paired perioperative high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) data and comprehensive documentation of surgical covariates, including surgical approach (laparoscopic vs. open), resection nature (anatomic vs. non-anatomic), number of resected segments, tumor characteristics (size and location), and presence of cirrhosis. Exclusion Criteria: (1) preoperative acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 60 ml/ (min · 1.73 m2); (2) undocumented inflow occlusion strategy; or (3) non-imputable missing covariates.
