Abstract

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pulmonary infection (POI) is strongly associated with a poor prognosis and has a high incidence in elderly patients undergoing major surgery. Machine learning (ML) algorithms are increasingly being used in medicine, but the predictive role of logistic regression (LR) and ML algorithms for POI in high-risk populations remains unclear.
