CT-Based Scoring System to Predict Surgical Need in Tracheal Stenosis (TSMAS Study)

Sponsor: Ondokuz Mayıs University

Summary

This study aims to develop a CT-based scoring system to help predict whether patients with tracheal stenosis will require surgical treatment or can be managed with endoscopic procedures. Using retrospective data, researchers will evaluate CT scans of patients diagnosed with tracheal stenosis to measure features such as airway diameter, wall thickness, and tissue density (measured in Hounsfield Units). The goal is to create a non-invasive, reproducible, and objective tool-called the Tracheal Stenosis Morphology and Attenuation Score (TSMAS)-that can support clinical decision-making and improve treatment planning.
