Collecting data on outcomes after pleural procedures

Prospective Data Collection on Clinical, Radiological and Patient Reported Outcomes After Pleural Intervention

University of Oxford · NCT05910112

This study is collecting information from patients who have had procedures to remove fluid or air from their chest to see how well they do afterward and what factors might affect their recovery.

What this trial studies

The PROSPECT study is an observational study that collects data on complications and outcomes from patients undergoing pleural interventions, such as procedures to remove fluid or air from the pleural space. It aims to identify factors that may predict complications or improvements in patient symptoms post-procedure, including the use of ultrasound for assessment. Data will be gathered from at least 20 centers, focusing on demographics, medical history, and patient-reported outcomes related to chest pain and breathlessness. The study seeks to enhance understanding of patient experiences and outcomes following pleural interventions.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who are scheduled to undergo a pleural intervention.

Not a fit: Patients under 18 years old or those unable to provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help identify patients who are less likely to benefit from pleural procedures, potentially preventing unnecessary interventions.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is observational and builds on existing knowledge, it aims to refine predictive capabilities and improve patient outcomes, indicating a novel aspect in the context of pleural interventions.
