Study summary

This is a multicenter, retrospective, real-world observational study aimed at developing and validating an artificial intelligence-based tool for identifying ulinastatin treatment responders and risk stratification in cardiac surgery patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Ulinastatin, a glycoprotein extracted from human urine, has shown potential benefits in reducing postoperative complications and inflammatory responses in cardiac surgery. However, evidence supporting its efficacy and optimal application in specific patient populations remains insufficient.

This study will collect clinical data from approximately 4 tertiary cardiac centers in China, including patients who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB. Using machine learning algorithms (such as weighted K-modes clustering and XGBoost), the study aims to: (1) construct a multicenter real-world database for cardiac surgery; (2) identify clinical characteristics associated with ulinastatin treatment response; (3) develop and validate an AI-based risk stratification tool to assist clinical decision-making. This study may provide evidence-based guidance for personalized perioperative anti-inflammatory treatment in cardiac surgery.

In context

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome

195 studies on the registry are indexed under Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome; 24 are open to participants now.

This study's planned enrollment of 10,000 is above the median of 134 across 94 observational studies indexed under Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.

Study population

Patients who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass at 4 tertiary cardiac centers in China, including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve surgery, congenital heart defect repair, and major vascular surgery. Patients are categorized based on perioperative ulinastatin use (ulinastatin group vs. control group). Data collected from electronic medical records.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients underwent extracorporeal circulation heart surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair or replacement surgery, congenital heart defect repair surgery, and major vascular and aortic disease surgeries;
  • Patients received standard treatment (such as anticoagulation, circulatory support), with or without ulinastatin.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who had undergone cardiopulmonary bypass surgery multiple times;
  • Patients with incomplete clinical records, lacking key information such as patient ID, age, gender and disease diagnosis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. All-cause mortality

    All-cause mortality occurring during the hospitalization period following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Mortality is defined as death from any cause that occurs from the time of surgery until hospital discharge, including deaths related to cardiovascular events, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), infection, bleeding, or other complications.

    Time frame: 30 days after the operation

Secondary outcomes

  1. The incidence rate of MODS

    The number of new MODS cases occurring in the targeted patients during research time period, divided by the total number of individuals at risk over the same period.

    Time frame: From the date of hospitalization until the date of hospital discharge or 30 days after the operation, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 30 days postoperatively.

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 May 13, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
