Predicting blood clots after lung cancer surgery
Official title: Prospective Cohort Study on Risk Factors and Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Postoperative Venous Thromboembolism in Patients Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery
Run by The First Hospital of Jilin University · NCT07439991 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will try to use clinical, surgical, and lab data to predict which adults having lung cancer surgery may develop blood clots after the operation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (age ≥18) who are having surgical resection for lung cancer, will remain hospitalized at least 48 hours after surgery, and can provide informed consent and 30-day follow-up data.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with preoperative DVT or PE, those on prolonged anticoagulation, with severe coagulation or organ dysfunction, or who cannot complete follow-up are unlikely to benefit from this observational prediction project.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study will follow adults undergoing surgical resection for lung cancer for 30 days after surgery to record perioperative clinical, laboratory, and imaging data. Investigators will identify clinical and surgical risk factors associated with postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Collected data will be used to train and test machine learning models to predict individual patient risk of postoperative VTE. Patients with pre-existing DVT/PE, prolonged anticoagulation, major concurrent surgeries, or severe organ dysfunction will be excluded and no investigational treatments are administered.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, a predictive model could help doctors identify high-risk patients and target preventive measures to reduce postoperative blood clots.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have identified traditional risk factors and risk scores for postoperative VTE, but applying machine learning specifically to predict individual risk after lung cancer surgery is relatively novel.
