Predictors of transmural NOMI in ICU patients with suspected acute mesenteric ischemia
Official title: Mesenteric Ischemia in the ICU: A Prospective Observational Study Across Estonian Regional Hospitals
Run by University of Tartu · NCT07610356 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at ICU patients with suspected acute mesenteric ischemia to see which factors best predict transmural non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults in the ICU with clinical suspicion of acute mesenteric ischemia during their stay.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without NOMI or AMI suspicion, or those outside the ICU context, are less likely to benefit from the study insights.

What this trial studies
This prospective, multicenter observational study aims to identify independent predictors of transmural NOMI among ICU patients with suspected acute mesenteric ischemia. Researchers will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, clinical signs, lab results, imaging findings, management, and outcomes across NOMI, other AMI forms, and suspected but unconfirmed cases. The study will describe variation in presentation and care, helping to better stratify risk and guide diagnostics in the ICU setting. No interventional treatments are performed; the study observes natural history and associations. Data will come from two Estonian centers: North Estonia Medical Centre and Tartu University Hospital.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could improve early identification and risk stratification for NOMI in ICU patients, potentially guiding faster diagnosis and management.
How similar studies have gone: Prior work on NOMI and AMI has shown the value of identifying predictors, though data specific to ICU-probed NOMI remain limited, making this study's focus relatively novel.
