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
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early

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.

Summary

This study taps into Sweden's national health registers to examine outcomes for thousands of adults who have undergone thoracic surgery, including procedures for lung cancer and pulmonary metastases. By linking detailed patient data, researchers aim to identify factors associated with survival and postoperative complications. The goal is to generate knowledge that could improve surgical care and patient outcomes.

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 research could identify factors that influence recovery and complications after lung surgery, potentially guiding safer surgical practices and better patient selection.
What could go wrong
As an observational register study, it cannot prove cause and effect, and results may be influenced by unmeasured factors. Findings may not apply outside Sweden's healthcare system.
