Can a simple score predict ICU need after cancer surgery?
NCT ID NCT07542925
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 500 adults having cancer surgery to see which risk scoring system best predicts if they'll need intensive care afterward. Doctors will calculate scores like ASA and SORT from patient data before and during surgery. The goal is to find the most accurate tool to help plan care and use hospital resources wisely.
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 help doctors better predict which cancer surgery patients need intensive care, improving safety and hospital planning.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only compares existing scoring methods, so it won't directly change patient care.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients (aged 18 and older) who are scheduled to undergo elective or emergency oncologic surgery at a single tertiary oncology training and research hospital. The population includes patients with various types of cancer requiring surgical intervention, where postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) requirement needs to be predicted using clinical risk scoring systems.
