Critical Health Assessment and Outcomes Score/Study

An observational study in Critical Illness and Death, Sudden, sponsored by Johns Hopkins University. Recruiting at 3 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-10-10.

Registry
Critical Illness — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.
ClinicalTrials.gg
Death, Sudden
Why
  1. Critical Illness is a broad heading, used only when no more specific condition is named.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Death, Sudden.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

CHAOS is based on the investigator's new and exciting results from pre-clinical and large longitudinal multi-center observational clinical studies of critically ill patients and asymptomatic community-based adults with little or no advanced disease.

By integrating approaches from the physical, biological, computational, statistical and clinical sciences, this observational study will test the hypothesis that early diagnosis of subclinical signatures of critical illness encoded within physiological signals complements conventional clinical predictors by providing unique prognostic insight.

The primary goal is to reduce mortality, morbidity and complications by early identification of individuals with brewing subclinical critical illness and adverse events before overt clinical presentation (e.g., cardiac arrest, arrhythmias, hemorrhage, respiratory failure, circulatory collapse). This will provide the necessary lead time for healthcare providers to deliver early, more effective and/or preventive therapies. Through innovative approaches, CHAOS also meets the challenge of medical errors to reduce missed diagnosis, misdiagnosis, preventable harm and variability in provider adherence to best practice guidelines.

The goal is to validate predictive algorithms and identify subclinical signatures of illness, ranging from asymptomatic adults in the community to very sick patients in the hospital. The overall goal is to make healthcare more precise, effective, efficient, safe and timely while reducing costs, preventable harms and adverse events.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to Mortality

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

  2. Duration of ICU/hospital stay

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rates of critical care transfer

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. Non-fatal adverse events

    Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. readmission to unit or hospital

    Time frame: 30 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 10, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
