Trial summary

Background \& Objective: Cardiac surgery patients differ significantly in their health conditions and how they react during operations. Standard risk assessments before surgery often miss the real-time changes happening inside a patient's body during the procedure, which can affect their recovery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Derivation and Verification of Hemodynamic Clinical Subphenotypes in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery Under Unsupervised Machine Learning

Background \& Objective:

Cardiac surgery patients differ significantly in their health conditions and how they react during operations. Standard risk assessments before surgery often miss the real-time changes happening inside a patient's body during the procedure, which can affect their recovery. Therefore, researchers conducted this study to find different groups (phenotypes) of patients who face varying risks for poor outcomes. They did this by using advanced computer learning techniques to analyze a lot of detailed health information collected both before and during surgery.

Methods:

This was a study that looked back at patient records from several hospitals. Researchers gathered a large amount of patient information from before surgery, including their basic health details and lab results. They also collected very detailed measurements of patients' vital signs taken during surgery, noting how these changed over time. Then, a computer program that can find patterns without being told what to look for (unsupervised hierarchical clustering) was used to sort patients into distinct groups based on this combined data.

Clinical Relevance:

This study expects to show that using data to identify patient groups can reveal differences that traditional methods miss. These new patient groups, which are based on how their blood flow and vital signs behave, offer a new way to understand risks in real-time. This could help doctors to predict problems more accurately and create personalized care plans for each patient around the time of surgery, which has great potential for practical use in hospitals.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Unsupervised Machine Learning for Clinical PhenotypingProcedure or surgery

    This is a data-driven study that uses an unsupervised machine learning algorithm to perform clustering on patient multimodal features. These features include: preoperative demographics, comorbidities, and laboratory data; surgical information; and high-resolution intraoperative data, most notably continuous vital sign trajectories.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Acute organ dysfunction

    including postoparative acute liver failure and acute kidney injury (up to 7 days postoperative), and acute kidney disease(up to 90 days postoperative)

    Measured: Within 7 days post-surgery for acute liver failure and acute kidney inkury, and 90 days for postoperative acute kidney disease

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total LOS and ICU-LOS

    Length of hospital stay and length of ICU stay

    Measured: up to 90 days post-surgery

  2. In-hospital mortality

    All-cause in-hospital mortality

    Measured: up to 90 days postoperative, from the end of surgery until patient discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Phenotyping and Machine Learning, run by Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acute organ dysfunction (time frame: Within 7 days post-surgery for acute liver failure and acute kidney inkury, and 90 days for postoperative acute kidney disease). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jul 2025.
