A new model predicts postoperative complications in hepatectomy patients, helping surgeons identify high-risk individuals and improve outcomes.
- An overall complication rate of 46.61% was observed in 1,350 cases.
- The model shows strong predictive power with an 86.9% sensitivity and a 9.36% estimated risk of severe complications for patients scoring 36.
This tool can refine preoperative assessments, guiding interventions to mitigate risk.
- Key independent risk factors include prolonged hospital stays and preoperative pulmonary comorbidities.
