Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to reveal blood biomarkers that will have prognostic significance in terms of the development of deep wound infection following sternotomy. As for the practical significance of the study, blood biomarkers correlated with deep wound infections can be used to prevent the development of wound infections in the postoperative period. Based on this, it is possible to formulate an algorithm for preventive measures.

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 Jan 29, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
