This study aimed to demonstrate whether plasma galectin-3 could predict the development of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). Prospective, observational study. Cardiac surgery intensive care unit. Consecutive...
BACKGROUND: Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) following laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is a critical complication that significantly worsens patient outcomes. However, the heterogeneity of its risk factors and...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) prediction models for non-cardiac major surgeries typically rely solely on preoperative clinical characteristics.
Ovarian cancer surgery requires multiple radical resections with a high risk of complications. The aim of this single-centre, retrospective study was to determine the best method for predicting Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III complications using machine l...
Patients undergoing open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) have a high risk of post-operative complications. However, there are no widely used tools to predict surgical risk in this population. We used machine learning (ML) technique...
Post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is a severe complication following liver surgery. We aimed to develop a novel, interpretable machine learning (ML) model to predict PHLF. We enrolled 312 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent hepa...
BACKGROUND: Transvaginal insertion of polypropylene mesh was extensively used in surgical procedures to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) due to its cost-efficiency and durability. However, studies have reported a high rate of complications, includin...
We aimed to develop machine learning(ML) algorithms to evaluate complications of flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy(fURSL), providing a valid predictive model. 15 ML algorithms were trained on a large number fURSL data from > 6500 patients f...
BACKGROUND: The global cancer burden is rapidly increasing, with 20 million new cases estimated in 2022. The world population aged ≥65 years is also increasing, projected to reach 15.9% by 2050, making cancer control for older patients urgent. Surgic...
Patients after holmium laser lithotripsy have a certain probability of getting postoperative infection. An early and accurate diagnosis of postoperative infection allows a timely administration of appropriate antibiotic treatment. However, doctors ca...
