BACKGROUND: Echinococcosis, caused by Echinococcus parasites, includes alveolar echinococcosis (AE), the most lethal form, primarily affecting the liver with a 90% mortality rate without prompt treatment. While radical surgery combined with antiparas...
OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND: Clinically significant posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF B+C) remains the main cause of mortality after major hepatic resection. This study aimed to establish an aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio combined with a...
Advancements in machine learning have revolutionized preoperative risk assessment. In this article, we comment on the article by Huang , which presents a recent multicenter cohort study demonstrated that machine learning algorithms effectively strati...

INTRODUCTION: Gut microbiota (GM) is implicated in the remnant liver regeneration (LR) after partial hepatectomy (PH) and affects outcomes. Our study shifts the algorithmic computational modeling from the classical knowledge of (LR) to that of (GM) i...
BACKGROUND: To investigate the preoperative factors influencing textbook outcomes (TO) in Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patients and evaluate the feasibility of an interpretable machine learning model for preoperative prediction of TO, we dev...
BACKGROUND: Patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) generally have good survival rates following surgical resection. However, a subset of these patients experience recurrence within five years post-surgery.
PURPOSE: Radical surgery, the first-line treatment for patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC), faces the dilemma of high early recurrence rates and the inability to predict effectively. We aim to develop and validate a multimodal model combining c...
BACKGROUND: The prognosis for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the presence of cirrhosis is unfavourable, primarily attributable to the high incidence of recurrence.
