New study tests if a score can help ICU doctors predict who will survive a year on a ventilator
NCT ID NCT06452797
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving ICU doctors a special score (ProVent-14) helps them better predict if a patient on a breathing machine for two weeks will survive for a year. About 238 doctors and nurses will participate, each caring for a patient on a ventilator. The goal is to see if the score makes predictions more accurate, which could improve communication with families and end-of-life 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 help doctors make more accurate predictions about long-term outcomes for patients on breathing machines, leading to better-informed care decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The scoring tool may not improve accuracy, and results may not apply to all ICU settings.
