Can a simple model predict who will survive surgery? study of 640,000 patients says maybe.
NCT ID NCT07188636
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers analyzed data from over 640,000 adults who had non-cardiac surgery to create a model that predicts the chance of dying within 30 days, 180 days, and one year after surgery. The model uses information from hospital records and national death registries. This study is complete and aims to give doctors a simple tool to identify high-risk patients.
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 model could help doctors better identify patients at high risk of dying after surgery, potentially improving care and saving lives.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, so the model may not work as well in new groups of patients. It only predicts risk, it does not prevent deaths.
