The Foundational Capabilities of Large Language Models in Predicting Postoperative Risks Using Clinical Notes [PDF]
Published at npj Digital Medicine (2025)Clinical notes recorded during a patient's perioperative journey holds immense informational value. Advances in large language models (LLMs) offer opportunities for bridging this gap. Using 84,875 pre-operative notes and its associated surgical cases from 2018 to 2021, we examine the performance of LLMs in predicting six postoperative risks using ...

Improved Predictive Models for Acute Kidney Injury with IDEAs: Intraoperative Data Embedded Analytics [PDF]
, 2018 Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication after a surgery which is associated with morbidity and mortality. The majority of existing perioperative AKI risk score prediction models are limited in their generalizability and do not fully utilize the physiological intraoperative time-series data.

Predicting Intraoperative Hypoxemia with Hybrid Inference Sequence Autoencoder Networks [PDF]
Proceedings of the 31th ACM International Conference on
Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM), 2022, 2021 We present an end-to-end model using streaming physiological time series to predict near-term risk for hypoxemia, a rare, but life-threatening condition known to cause serious patient harm during surgery. Inspired by the fact that a hypoxemia event is defined based on a future sequence of low SpO2 (i.e., blood oxygen saturation) instances, we propose ...
