NCT ID NCT05192837
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a structured smoking cessation program starting four weeks before surgery could reduce complications in smokers undergoing intermediate to high-risk operations. Researchers planned to enroll 251 adult smokers scheduled for various surgeries, comparing those who received intensive support to quit versus those who only got advice. The main goal was to measure overall complications within 90 days after surgery. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
