BACKGROUND: The prediction of mortality for elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries is a vital research area, as accurate risk assessment can help surgeons make better clinical decisions during the perioperative period. This study aims to b...
PURPOSE: This brief report aims to summarize and discuss the methodologies of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) and their potential applications in surgery.
INTRODUCTION: Understanding 1-year mortality following major surgery offers valuable insights into patient outcomes and the quality of peri-operative care. Few models exist that predict 1-year mortality accurately. This study aimed to develop a predi...

Unplanned readmission within 30 days is a major challenge both globally and in South Africa. The aim of this study was to develop a machine learning model to predict unplanned surgical and trauma readmission to a public hospital in South Africa from ...
BACKGROUND: Matching the necessary resources and facilities to attend to the needs of trauma patients is traditionally performed by clinicians using criteria-directed triage protocols. In the present study, it was hypothesized that an artificial inte...
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...

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into surgery raises significant ethical concerns, including the impact on autonomy, human authority and the patient-doctor relationship. This study underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach ...
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...
