What researchers observed
A machine learning model accurately predicted clot risk in lung transplant patients on ECMO in a study of 189 cases.
What this could mean
This could help researchers find patients at risk for blood clots earlier and improve study methods for prevention. If validated further, it may guide future research on clot risk after lung transplant.
What researchers still need to learn
Researchers still need to learn whether this prediction improves patient outcomes or works well outside this study group.
