OBJECTIVE: This study examines utilizes the advantages of machine learning algorithms to discern key determinants in prognosticate postoperative circulatory complications (PCCs) for older patients.
PURPOSE: The wedge effect (V-effect) is a common complication in intramedullary nailing surgery for intertrochanteric fractures and can significantly affect postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this study was to screen risk factors for the intraope...
OBJECTIVE: Diabetes Insipidus (DI) is a common complication that occurs following transsphenoidal surgery for sellar lesions. DI is usually transient but can be permanent in select patients. Prior studies have described preoperative risk factors for ...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Liver transplant (LT) recipients may succumb to graft-related pathologies, contributing to graft fibrosis (GF). Current methods to diagnose GF are limited, ranging from procedural-related complications to low accuracy. With recent...
The use of machine learning (ML) techniques, particularly XGBoost and logistic regression, to predict sarcopenia among postsurgical gastric cancer patients has gained significant attention in recent research. Sarcopenia, characterized by the progress...
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...

BACKGROUND: The flexible ureteroscopy lithotripsy (F-URL) is an important treatment for upper urinary tract stones. However, urolithiasis, surgical procedures, and catheter placement are risk factors for fungal infections. Our study aimed to construc...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant risk associated with surgeries under general anesthesia, often leading to increased mortality and morbidity. Existing predictive models for postoperative AKI are usually limited to ...
BACKGROUND: Considering that most patients with low or no significant risk factors can safely undergo noncardiac surgery without additional cardiac evaluation, and given the excessive evaluations often performed in patients undergoing intermediate or...
BACKGROUND: Reducing postoperative cardiovascular and neurological complications (PCNC) during thoracic surgery is the key to improving postoperative survival.
