PURPOSE: Machine-learning methods are flexible prediction algorithms with potential advantages over conventional regression. This study aimed to use machine learning methods to predict post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA) walking limitation, and to com...
INTRODUCTION: About 42 million surgeries are performed annually in the USA. While the postoperative mortality is less than 2%, 12% of all patients in the high-risk surgery group account for 80% of postoperative deaths. New onset of haemodynamic insta...
OBJECTIVE: Prediction of acute renal failure (ARF) and paraplegia after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair (TAAAR) is helpful for decision-making during the postoperative phase. To find a more efficient method for making a prediction, we perform...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula remains an unsolved challenge after pancreatoduodenectomy. Important in this regard is the presence of a soft pancreatic texture which is a major risk factor. Advances in machine learning and texture analy...
BACKGROUND: There is an ongoing debate about expanding the resection criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond the Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) guidelines. We sought to determine the factors that held the most prognostic weight in th...
Seeking smaller and indistinct incisions, physicians have attempted endoscopic breast surgery in breast cancer patients. Unfortunately, there are some limitations in the range of movement and visualization of the operation field. Potentially addressi...
