AI predicts ICU dangers from old records
NCT ID NCT07317817
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at anonymous medical records from over 55,000 past ICU patients to find patterns that could help predict three life-threatening conditions: sepsis (body-wide infection), ARDS (severe lung injury), and acute kidney injury. Researchers used computer models to analyze data like vital signs and lab results from the first 24 hours in the ICU. No new treatments were tested, and no patients were contacted. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years). * Admitted to the ICU with a length of stay ≥ 24 hours. * Availability of key clinical variables within the first 24 hours of ICU admission (e.g., vital signs, laboratory results, admission diagnosis). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with incomplete or missing key data for model variables (e.g., missing baseline creatinine, or missing Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score components). * Patients admitted for palliative care or comfort measures only upon ICU admission. * Readmissions during the same hospitalization (only the first ICU admission will be included).
