It has high AUC, specificity, sensitivity, F1 score and low Brier score. Calibration showed good agreement between observed and predicted risks. The model yielded higher positive net benefits in DCA than when all participants were considered to be at high or low risk, indicating good clinical utility. In addition, the SHAP plot of the RF showed that age, basophil/lymphocyte ratio (BLR), D-Dimer, aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT), γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) can help identify patients with CHB who are at high or low risk of developing HCC.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>ML models can be used as a tool to predict the risk of HCC in patients with CHB. The RF model has the best predictive performance and helps clinicians to identify high-risk patients and intervene early to reduce or delay the occurrence of HCC. However, the model needs to be further improved through large sample studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9129,"journal":{"name":"BMC Gastroenterology","volume":"25 1","pages":"157"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11899164/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary outcomes are postoperative pancreatic fistula and intra-abdominal infection. Data is pooled using the risk ratio or standardized mean difference with 95% confidence interval. The study protocol was registered prospectively with PROSPERO (CRD42022372584).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 39 retrospective cohort studies with 33,516 patients were included in this trial. Compared with no preoperative biliary drainage, the preoperative biliary drainage group had a longer hospital stay (SMD, 0.14). Performing preoperative biliary drainage significantly increases the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (RR, 1.09), intra-abdominal infection (RR, 1.09), surgical site infection (RR, 1.84), and sepsis (RR, 1.37). But preoperative biliary drainage lowers risk of bile leak (RR, 0.74).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Preoperative biliary drainage before pancreaticoduodenectomy increases the risk of postoperative complications without clear overall benefits. Routine PBD is not recommended for younger patients with mild to moderate jaundice but may be considered for high-risk patients, such as those with severe infections or progressive jaundice. Optimizing preoperative biliary drainage duration and timing may help reduce complications. Further research is needed to refine patient selection and perioperative strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9129,"journal":{"name":"BMC Gastroenterology","volume":"25 1","pages":"161"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11900024/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
