Vomiting Prevention in Children With Cancer
Prevention of Vomiting in Pediatric Oncology Inpatients Using Machine Learning
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this single arm trial is to learn if a machine learning (ML) model predicting the risk of vomiting within the next 96 hours will impact vomiting outcomes in inpatient cancer pediatric patients. The main questions it aims to answer are whether an ML model predicting the risk of vomiting within the next 96 hours will: Primary 1\. Reduce the proportion with any vomiting within the 96-hour window Secondary 1. Reduce the number of vomiting episodes 2. Increase the proportion receiving care pathway-consistent care 3. Impact on specific antiemetic medication administrations Exploratory: To determine whether deployment of the ML model reduces the proportion of patients with any nausea within 96 hours and to characterize references to the algorithm in clinical notes following deployment, and to determine the number of times the prediction report dashboard was opened. Newly admitted participants will have a ML model predict the risk of vomiting within the next 96 hours according to their medical admission information. The prediction will be made at 8:30 AM following admission. Pharmacists will be charged with bringing information about patients' vomiting risk to the attention of the medical team and implementing interventions.
