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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This completed study from Israel examined 4,500 ICU patients to see if intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices, which are used to prevent dangerous blood clots, might also cause pressure sores. The researchers focused on sores around the ankles and other bony areas. The goal was to find out how often these injuries happen and what factors increase the risk.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
intermittent pneumatic compression device
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help hospitals better understand and prevent pressure sores caused by these devices, improving patient safety.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly lead to a new therapy. The findings may not apply to all hospital settings.

Who is studied

Adult patients aged 18 years or older admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for more than 7 days and exposed to intermittent pneumatic compression for thromboprophylaxis. Data are obtained from retrospective electronic health records, including demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and clinical variables. The population is stratified into patients who developed pressure ulcers and those who did not during ICU stay.
