This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict this reoperation risk.MethodsThis study was conducted according to TRIPOD + AI. Data from the PARITY trial was used to develop ML models to predict the 1‐year reoperation risk following lower extremity oncological resection and reconstruction. Six ML algorithms were tuned and calibrated based on fivefold cross‐validation. The best‐performing model was identified using classification and calibration metrics.ResultsThe polynomial support vector machine (SVM) model was chosen as the best‐performing model. During internal validation, the SVM exhibited an AUC‐ROC of 0.73 and a Brier score of 0.17. Using an optimal threshold that balances all quadrants of the confusion matrix, the SVM exhibited a sensitivity of 0.45 and a specificity of 0.81. Using a high‐sensitivity threshold, the SVM exhibited a sensitivity of 0.68 and a specificity of 0.68. Total operative time was the most important feature for reoperation risk prediction.ConclusionThe models may facilitate reoperation risk stratification, allowing for better patient counseling and for physicians to implement measures that reduce surgical risks.","PeriodicalId":17111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142184601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patients were excluded if it was unknown if they were recommended for surgery or if surgery was contraindicated. Multiple predictors were assessed: radiation versus surgery, age at diagnosis, sex, race/ethnicity, health insurance status, marital status, tumor size, and histology. A multivariate analysis was performed to estimate hazard ratios and generate Kaplan−Meier survival curves.ResultsWhen adjusted for confounding variables, survival was greater for patients undergoing surgical resection than those refusing surgery in favor of radiation (HR<jats:sub>adj</jats:sub> 2.66; 95% CI: 2.27−3.11, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.001) or for those receiving no standardized treatment (HR<jats:sub>adj</jats:sub> 4.43; 95% CI: 3.57−5.50, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.001).ConclusionsSBRT is an effective treatment for inoperable early LC but there is limited data comparing outcomes against surgical resection. When eligible for both, patients refusing surgery and choosing radiation had worse survival when adjusting for variables including age, tumor size, and histology, and suggests that surgical resection is a superior treatment modality.","PeriodicalId":17111,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surgical Oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142184609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We sought to understand reasons for attrition before surgery within our regional hospital network.MethodsWe performed chart reviews of patients (age 18–80) with stage I–III UGI cancers (gastroesophageal junction, gastric, and hepatopancreatobiliary adenocarcinomas) in our multihospital cancer registry from 2015 to 2021. Our primary outcome was reasons for surgical attrition. Univariable analysis identified factors related to surgical attrition and the Kaplan–Meier method estimated overall survival based on surgery receipt.ResultsSeven hundred and ninety‐two patients were included in our analysis, of whom 107 (13.5%) did not undergo curative surgery. Reasons for not undergoing surgery included medical comorbidities (30.8%), patient preference/nonmedical barriers (24.3%, which included: not interested without further explanation, worried about complications, nonadherence to appointments, insurance issues, did not wish for blood transfusion, lack of social support, preferring home care, and worried about recurrence), psychosocial (5.6%), progression while on neoadjuvant therapy or waiting for transplant (15.0% and 7.5%), poor performance status (3.7%), side effects of neoadjuvant therapy (3.7%), and death unrelated to treatment or unknown cause (9.4%).
