Predicting 30-day heart problems after gastrointestinal surgery using AI versus standard risk scores

Official title: Value of Some Risk Scores in Predicting Cardiovascular Events After Gastrointestinal Surgery

Run by Bach Mai Hospital · NCT07539532 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will test whether an AI-based multimodal model can better predict major heart problems within 30 days after gastrointestinal surgery for adults at Bach Mai Hospital than commonly used risk scores.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult patients (age ≥18) undergoing gastrointestinal surgery at Bach Mai Hospital between January 2025 and December 2026 with sufficient preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients without the required clinical data, those who die within 24 hours from a clearly non-cardiovascular cause, pediatric patients, or those undergoing non-gastrointestinal procedures are unlikely to benefit from this model.

What this trial studies

This is a mixed retrospective–prospective observational effort at Bach Mai Hospital to develop an AI-based multimodal prediction model for major cardiovascular events occurring within 30 days after gastrointestinal surgery. The model will draw on preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative clinical, laboratory, physiologic, and procedural data from adult patients treated in 2025–2026. Investigators will compare the AI model's predictive performance with traditional scores (RCRI, ACS NSQIP MICA, and ACS NSQIP SRC) using measures such as discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness. The primary outcome is major cardiovascular events (cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, cardiac arrest with return of spontaneous circulation, new stroke, and related events) within 30 days after surgery.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the AI model could more accurately identify patients at high risk of early postoperative cardiovascular events, enabling closer monitoring and targeted preventive care.

How similar studies have gone: Some prior machine-learning models have improved prediction of surgical and cardiac outcomes, but multimodal AI models with robust external or prospective validation remain limited.
