ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial, called "PACT Involvement in Cardiology Patients," is studying how a special computer program, known as a machine-learning model, can help doctors predict serious heart problems in children who are hospitalized for heart issues. The trial will look at whether using this program can lead to more consultations with the Pediatric Advanced Care Team (PACT), which supports children with serious illnesses. Specifically, it will check if the program can help identify high-risk patients more effectively, speed up consultations, and ultimately reduce serious outcomes, like death in the intensive care unit.
To be eligible for this trial, participants must be pediatric patients (children and young adults) admitted to the cardiology unit. However, those expected to leave the hospital before midnight on the day they are admitted will not be included. If your child is part of the trial, doctors will use the machine-learning model to identify if they might need additional support from the PACT team, ensuring that they receive the best possible care during their hospital stay. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to improve care for young patients with serious heart conditions.
