Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Gallbladder polyps (GBPs) are increasingly prevalent, with the majority being benign; however, neoplastic polyps carry a risk of malignant transformation, highlighting the importance of accurate differentiation. This study aimed to develop and validate interpretable machine learning (ML) models to accurately predict neoplastic GBPs in a retrospective cohort, identifying key features and providing model explanations using the Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) method.
