Abstract

Background: Despite technical advancements, minimally invasive liver surgery (MILS) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains challenging. Nonetheless, effective tools to assess MILS complexity are still lacking. Machine learning (ML) models could improve the accuracy of such tools.

Methods: Patients who underwent curative-intent MILS for HCC were identified using an international database. An XGBoost ML model was developed to predict surgical complexity using clinical and radiological characteristics.

Results: Among 845 patients, 186 (22.0 %) were classified as high-risk patients. In this subgroup, median Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (5.0, IQR 3.0-7.0 vs. 2.0, IQR 2.0-5.0, p < 0.001) and tumor burden score (TBS) (median 4.12, IQR 3.0-5.1 vs. 4.22, IQR 3.2-7.1, p < 0.001) were higher. The model was able to effectively predict complexity of surgery in both the training and testing cohorts with high discriminating power (ROC-AUC: 0.86, 95%CI 0.82-0.89 vs. 0.73, 95%CI 0.65-0.81). The most influential variables were CCI, TBS, BMI, extent of resection, and sex. Patients predicted to have a complex surgery were more likely to develop severe complications (OR 4.77, 95%CI 1.82-13.9, p = 0.002). An easy-to-use calculator was developed.

Conclusion: Preoperative ML-prediction of complex MILS for HCC may improve preoperative planning, resource allocation, and patient outcomes.

期刊介绍: HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication. Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice. Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice. HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields. Abstracted and Indexed in: MEDLINE® EMBASE PubMed Science Citation Index Expanded Academic Search (EBSCO) HPB is owned by the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) and is also the official Journal of the American Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA), the Asian-Pacific Hepato Pancreatic Biliary Association (A-PHPBA) and the European-African Hepato-Pancreatic Biliary Association (E-AHPBA).
