Summary: Machine learning models were developed to predict the risk of relapse in PDAC patients after radical resection, with random forest outperforming other methods in training set, and support vector machine and k neighbor algorithm showing better performance in validation set. The comprehensive models will guide personalized surveillance programs after surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to establish and validate nomograms to predict the probability of intravesical recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy for upper urinary tract epithelial carcinoma. Clinical data of 528 patients were collected and analyzed using LASSO regression and Cox regression analysis to build a predictive nomogram model. The model demonstrated excellent discriminatory performance and was validated in an external cohort.

Summary: The study validated and compared the predictive ability of the ALBI model with other liver functional reserve models for posthepatectomy liver failure in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The ALBI model showed the highest AUC for predicting PHLF and had good predictive performance in both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients.

Summary: This study aimed to validate a previously established prediction model for graft intolerance syndrome in an independent cohort. The validation cohort consisted of patients with late kidney graft failure between 2008 and 2018. The original model, which included donor age, graft survival, and number of acute rejections, performed poorly in the validation cohort. However, after retraining the model using recipient age at graft failure instead of donor age, it showed moderate performance in both the development and validation cohorts.

Summary: The study confirmed that RC-pentafecta can be used to evaluate the surgical outcomes of RARC patients, with age being an independent predictor of pentafecta achievement and surgeon experience impacting the validation of the criteria.

Summary: The study aimed to independently validate the Hemodynamic Stability Index (HSI) in predicting hemodynamic instability in Asian patients. The results showed that the HSI model performed better than single indicators in predicting patients who received hemodynamic interventions, demonstrating its potential utility in critical care settings.

Summary: The study aimed to develop and validate a clinical prediction model for overall survival in patients with nonmetastatic, resected gallbladder cancer (GBC). Data from a Dutch cohort was used for development and an Australian cohort for external validation. The proposed model demonstrated superior discriminatory capacity compared to the AJCC staging system and can be a useful tool for physicians and patients.

Summary: This study externally validated 4 scoring models for predicting ventriculoperitoneal shunt insertion after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, with scoring model 4 being the most effective. However, the applicability of scoring model 4 is limited in modern practice, highlighting the need for a new scoring model.

Summary: The study validated the effectiveness of five approaches to predict ectopic pregnancy in pregnancies of unknown location (PUL), and found that the two-step triage strategy (2ST) and M6P performed best in prediction and triage.

Summary: The study aimed to validate the performance of the 2012 Briganti nomogram in predicting pelvic lymph node invasion in men who underwent radical prostatectomy, and found that a nomogram-derived cut-off of 7% could reduce the number of lymph node dissections while still detecting patients with lymph node invasion.

Summary: This study developed and validated a nomogram for predicting liver metastasis in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) after radical resection. The nomogram, based on postoperative CA125 level, tumor characteristics, and invasion degree, showed high accuracy and clinical utility in predicting liver metastasis risk.

Summary: The study compared long-term renal function outcomes between open radical cystectomy and robot-assisted radical cystectomy with extracorporeal or intracorporeal urinary diversion. The results showed that 64% of patients experienced renal function decline, which was influenced by tumor stage, pre-operative eGFR, and development of ureteral strictures.

Summary: This study compared the long-term oncological outcomes of pelvic organ preserving-radical cystectomy (POPRC) and standard radical cystectomy (SRC) in female patients with bladder cancer. The results showed no significant difference in overall survival between the two surgical methods.
