Finding routine data patterns that predict important anesthesia and ICU outcomes
Official title: Retrospective Analysis for the Identification of Outcome Relevant Indicators ("Patterns") in Routine Data and Investigation of the Influence on Patient-centered Outcome for a Data-driven Improvement of Quality-based Treatment of Perioperative and Intensive Care Patients
Run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany · NCT04670744 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try to find patterns in Charité's electronic hospital records that predict outcomes for people who received anesthesia or intensive care since 2016.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Patients of any age and gender who had electronically documented anesthesiology or intensive care treatment in Charité's HIS/PDMS since 2016 are eligible.
✕Probably not a fit
People treated outside Charité or whose care was not captured in Charité's electronic systems are not included and will not directly benefit from this dataset analysis.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Researchers will use routinely collected electronic health record and patient data management system information from Charité to identify combinations of vital signs, lab values, diagnoses, and process measures that relate to patient-centered outcomes. They will combine these routine data with existing quality indicators (QIs) and standard operating procedures (SOPs) to map measurable care processes linked to outcomes. The work is retrospective and data-science driven, using pattern-recognition methods rather than changing patient care directly. The goal is to derive recommendations and quality-based treatment structures to reduce anesthesiology and intensive care risks.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could inform data-driven SOPs and quality indicators that reduce complications and improve anesthesia and ICU care aligned with patient preferences.
How similar studies have gone: Similar EHR-based and pattern-recognition projects have shown promise in identifying risk patterns and improving quality metrics, though clinical translation and impact have varied by setting.
