Early Stratification of Patients at Risk for Postoperative Complications after Elective Colectomy [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Stratifying patients at risk for postoperative complications may facilitate timely and accurate workups and reduce the burden of adverse events on patients and the health system. Currently, a widely-used surgical risk calculator created by the American College of Surgeons, NSQIP, uses 21 preoperative covariates to assess risk of postoperative ...

POSTOPERATIVE PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS [PDF]
Archives of Surgery, 1920 INTRODUCTION It is with some hesitation that we again present this subject.1That there remains, however, considerable divergence in the minds of both surgeons and anesthetists as to the etiologic factors, and therefore, the prevention and treatment of pulmonary complications there is no doubt.

Added Value of Intraoperative Data for Predicting Postoperative Complications: Development and Validation of a MySurgeryRisk Extension [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 To test the hypothesis that accuracy, discrimination, and precision in predicting postoperative complications improve when using both preoperative and intraoperative data input features versus preoperative data alone. Models that predict postoperative complications often ignore important intraoperative physiological changes.

Deepwound: Automated Postoperative Wound Assessment and Surgical Site Surveillance through Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Postoperative wound complications are a significant cause of expense for hospitals, doctors, and patients. Hence, an effective method to diagnose the onset of wound complications is strongly desired. Algorithmically classifying wound images is a difficult task due to the variability in the appearance of wound sites. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs),
