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 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 looked at whether measuring muscle thickness with ultrasound before heart or lung surgery can help predict complications like kidney failure, breathing problems, or infections. Researchers enrolled 301 patients aged 65 and older at a French hospital. The day before surgery, they used ultrasound to measure muscles in the leg, belly, and chest. The goal was to see if smaller muscles meant higher risk, without using radiation or complex tests.

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 lead to a simple, radiation-free way to identify patients at higher risk of complications after heart or lung surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures muscle thickness and does not test any intervention, so it cannot directly improve outcomes.
