BACKGROUND: Because of technical limitations inherent to logistic regression, NSQIP benchmarking has historically risk adjusted for procedure using only 1 principal CPT code among other predictors. This has the potential to create bias (favorable or ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are rapidly transforming healthcare, with growing interest in their application to rare pediatric surgical conditions. In these settings, limited data availability often brakes traditional resear...
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative hypotension (IOH), defined as a mean arterial pressure (MAP) below 65 mmHg, is a common complication during surgery and is associated with significant postoperative morbidity, including acute kidney injury, myocardial injur...
BACKGROUND: High intraoperative blood pressure variability (HIBPV) is significantly associated with postoperative adverse complications. However, practical tools to characterize perioperative factors associated with HIBPV remain limited. This study a...
Artificial intelligence (Al) is transforming surgical care by enhancing risk prediction, preoperative planning, and surgical education. Unlike traditional statistical tools, Al-especially machine learning-can process complex, nonlinear clinical data ...
INTRODUCTION: The objective of this study was to employ artificial intelligence (AI) technology for the development of a model that can accurately forecast the outcome of emergency general surgery (EGS) in elderly patients. Additionally, an innovativ...
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...
As we enter the 21st century, a new wave of transformation is occurring in health care, mainly through artificial intelligence (AI). Like electricity, AI is a powerful tool that can either harm or heal, depending on how it is managed. In 2015, the Un...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review explores advances in risk stratification tools and their applicability in identifying and managing high-risk emergency general surgery (EGS) patients.
