What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This study looks at whether a simple frailty score can predict how well people aged 75 and older recover one year after emergency heart surgery. Researchers will track quality of life and survival in 265 participants over 12 months. The goal is to see if frailty, measured before surgery, is linked to fewer quality-adjusted life years after the operation.

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 frailty is confirmed as a key predictor, doctors could better identify older patients who may need extra support after emergency heart surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all older adults or hospital settings.

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

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 265 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Dec 2025

Expected to finish

Dec 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Ages

75 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: * Patients aged ≥ 75 years who are affiliated with or beneficiaries of a social security scheme and undergoing emergency cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass, either immediate or urgent (relative) : * Immediate emergency surgery: intervention performed before the start of the next working day following the decision to operate, * Urgent (relative) emergency surgery: patients not admitted electively for surgery but requiring an intervention during the current hospital stay for medical reasons, and who cannot be discharged without undergoing a definitive procedure Exclusion Criteria: * Patients requiring preoperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation * Scheduled (elective) surgery * Lack of informed consent * Impaired consciousness at the time of inclusion (defined by a Glasgow Coma Scale score \< 15) * Individuals under legal guardianship or judicial protection * Individuals participating in another interventional research protocol
