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
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study asks whether a simple bedside score, called the Vasoactive Inotropic Score (VIS), can help predict which adults are at higher risk of complications after heart surgery using a heart-lung machine. The score is calculated from the doses of heart-support medications a patient is already receiving, so no extra tests are needed. Researchers will measure VIS at several points in the first two days after surgery in 617 adults undergoing procedures like valve repair or coronary bypass. The goal is to see if early VIS readings can flag patients more likely to experience serious issues such as kidney injury, stroke, or the need for extra circulatory support.

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 this score proves reliable, it could help doctors identify high-risk heart surgery patients earlier and monitor them more closely, potentially reducing serious complications.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it can show links but not prove cause and effect. The score's usefulness may vary across different hospitals and patient groups.
