BACKGROUND: Postoperative complications in colorectal surgery can significantly impact patient outcomes and healthcare costs. Accurate prediction of these complications enables targeted perioperative management, improving patient safety and optimizin...
PURPOSE: The choice of wound closure modality after limb-sparing extremity soft-tissue sarcoma (eSTS) resection is fraught with uncertainty. Leveraging machine learning and clinicoradiomic data, we developed Sarcoma Reconstruction Nomograms (SARCON),...
INTRODUCTION: In older patients, postoperative delirium (POD) is a major complication that can result in greater morbidity, longer hospital stays, and higher healthcare expenses. Accurate prediction models for POD can enhance patient outcomes by guid...
Early detection of atrial fibrillation (AFib) is crucial for altering its natural progression and complication profile. Traditional demographic and lifestyle factors often fail as predictors of AFib. This study investigated pre-operative, circulating...
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...
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...
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.
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...
