Predictive Model for Stoma Healing After Tracheostomy Decannulation in Patients With Prolonged Tracheostomy
China219 participantsStarted 2026-05-18
Plain-language summary
Prolonged tracheostomy is prone to induce chronic airway mucosal injury and tracheal cartilage degeneration, which not only elevates the risks of post-decannulation complications such as persistent fistula non-healing, airway stenosis and recurrent infections, but also impairs ventilatory, phonatory and deglutitive functions, thereby exerting a severe adverse impact on patients' prognosis and quality of life.Accordingly, the retrospective observational study aimed to characterize stoma healing time after decannulation, identify key predictive factors, and develop and validate a clinically useful prediction model. These findings will offer evidence-based guidance for future researchers in selecting appropriate modeling methodologies and provide a scientific foundation for the development of targeted clinical intervention and prevention strategies.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Successful decannulation，it was defined as no need for tracheostomy tube reinsertion within 48 hours after decannulation
* Complete clinical data
* Voluntary participation in the study and signed informed consent form
Exclusion Criteria:
* Decannulation failure, with reinsertion of a tracheostomy tube or endotracheal tube
* Discharge from hospital before the tracheostomy stoma healed
* Refusal to participate in the study or withdrawal from the study midway
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Time to Complete Epithelial Closure of the Tracheostomy Stoma After Decannulation
Timeframe: From the date of tracheostomy tube decannulation to the date of spontaneous complete epithelial closure of the tracheostomy stoma, assessed up to 30 days after decannulation
