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 Results may not be published yet.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 follows 200 adults who have elective coronary bypass or heart valve surgery to see how their physical abilities, lung function, and muscle strength change after the operation. Researchers measure walking speed, balance, handgrip strength, and breathing tests before and after surgery. The goal is to better understand recovery patterns and identify factors that may predict slower recovery.

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 study could help identify which patients are at risk for poor recovery after heart surgery, guiding better rehabilitation strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it will not directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all heart surgery patients.
