Postoperative pneumonia, a prevalent complication arising from lower limb fracture surgery, can significantly prolong hospitalization periods and elevate mortality rates. Consequently, early prevention and identification of this condition are crucial...
A machine learning model was developed and validated to predict postoperative complications in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) who underwent total arch replacement combined with frozen elephant trunk (TAR + FET), with the goal of...
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD), a heterogeneous spectrum of surgery/anesthesia-associated neurocognitive impairments, represents a critical clinical challenge due to its associations with prolonged hospitalization, increased mortality, an...
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) opens new horizons to leverage, often unused, information in clinical text. Our study aims to capitalise on this new potential. Specifically, we examine the utility of text embeddings generated by LLMs in...
After colorectal surgery, delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a clinically significant postoperative complication that significantly lowers patients' quality of life. The evolving application of robotic surgery in gastrointestinal oncology continues to...
BACKGROUND: Refractory esophageal stricture (RES) presents a challenging complication after esophageal atresia (EA) repair. Earlier identification of patients with RES could help clinical decision-making. However, there are currently limited articles...

BACKGROUND: Nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) with immediate implant-based breast reconstruction provides aesthetic and psychosocial benefits, but nipple-areolar complex (NAC) necrosis remains a significant risk. This study externally validated a previ...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study is to determine the main predictors of postoperative AKI in neonates using machine learning models compared with the logistic regression model.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Radical cystectomy (RC) is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications. The prediction of individual patient risk for severe complications can facilitate preoperative shared decision-making. Patients with elev...
