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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at whether changes in how the pupils react to light can predict recovery in critically ill patients. Researchers will measure pupil responses daily for the first week in the ICU. They aim to see if these measurements relate to how well patients do at discharge and 90 days later.

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 use pupil measurements to predict how well critically ill patients will recover.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may find no clear link, or the results might not apply to all ICU patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Adult critically ill patients admitted to emergency intensive care units at participating tertiary hospitals will be screened for eligibility. Eligible patients are those expected to stay in the EICU for more than 48 hours and for whom reliable quantitative pupillometry can be performed. Written informed consent will be obtained from the participant or a legally authorized representative before enrollment.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18 years or older. 2. Admission to the emergency intensive care unit. 3. Critically ill patients with an expected EICU stay longer than 48 hours. 4. Written informed consent obtained from the participant or legally authorized representative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Severe ocular disease, severe ocular trauma, postoperative ocular status, or other conditions that prevent reliable pupillary measurement. 2. Known neuro-ophthalmic disorders that may affect the pupillary light reflex, such as oculomotor nerve palsy. 3. Use of topical ophthalmic medications during the study period that may significantly affect pupillary response, when their effects cannot be accurately recorded or evaluated. 4. Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
