Evaluating outcomes in critically ill patients after brain surgery
Official title: Comparison of the Predictive Value of APACHE II, SOFA, SAPS II, GCS and GCS-P Scores for In-hospital Mortality in Critically Ill Patients After Craniotomy
Run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital · NCT06762184 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at adult patients who had brain surgery to see how well different scoring systems can predict their recovery and survival in the ICU.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adult patients who have undergone craniotomy and stayed in the ICU for more than 24 hours.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are pregnant, lactating, or enrolled in other clinical studies will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study reviews adult patients who underwent craniotomy and were admitted to the ICU at Beijing Tiantan Hospital from 2017 to 2020. It aims to collect and analyze patient data, including surgery details, complications, and outcomes, to assess the predictive accuracy of various severity scoring systems like APACHE II, SOFA, and SAPS II. Patients will be categorized based on survival outcomes, and the effectiveness of these scoring systems will be evaluated for different surgical indications. The study seeks to enhance understanding of post-craniotomy patient outcomes and the reliability of existing scoring methods.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the accuracy of outcome predictions for critically ill patients after craniotomy, leading to better patient management.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in using severity scoring systems to predict outcomes in critically ill patients, making this approach well-supported.
