Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with pulmonary hypertension who have at least one year of follow-up data and no major data missing at baseline or follow-up.

Probably not a fit

Patients with significant comorbidities that severely limit life expectancy or those with conditions that heavily confound hemodynamics may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multi-center, prospective cohort study with retrospective elements that aims to define pulmonary hypertension crisis and identify its clinical, hemodynamic, and molecular risk factors. A standardized PH registry and biobank will collect demographics, tests, imaging, hemodynamics, and biospecimens from up to 5,000 patients. Advanced analytics, including neural networks and other predictive models, will be used to develop risk prediction and early-warning tools for PHC. The study will validate a definition for PHC and explore factors associated with occurrence and mortality to inform prevention and treatment strategies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the project could provide a validated definition of PHC and tools to foresee and prevent crises, potentially improving survival for patients with pulmonary hypertension.

How similar studies have gone: Previous PH cohorts have advanced understanding of risk factors, and this project seeks to build on that by integrating multi-modal data and predictive modeling, which is relatively novel for PHC.
