Abstract
BACKGROUND: Portal vein system thrombosis (PVST) is a common and potentially life-threatening complication following splenectomy plus pericardial devascularisation (SPDV) in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Early prediction of PVST is critical for timely intervention. This study aimed to develop a machine learning-based prediction model for PVST occurrence within 3 months after splenectomy.
