Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older who are scheduled for major liver surgery (such as two-segment-or-more hepatectomy or liver transplantation) and can give informed consent are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18, those not undergoing major liver surgery, or those lacking the required perioperative monitoring data are unlikely to benefit from this model.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Researchers will collect preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative cardiopulmonary interaction data from adults undergoing major liver operations at a single center. They will train and validate explainable machine-learning models — including logistic regression, random forest, support vector machines, and neural networks — to predict acute lung injury. Model performance will be measured with accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and ROC curves, and interpretability methods will be used to explain key contributing features. The goal is to create a reliable digital early-warning system that can support clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions to reduce ALI incidence and mortality.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the system could alert clinicians earlier to impending acute lung injury and help reduce its incidence and related deaths after major liver surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Machine-learning approaches have shown promise for predicting ARDS/ALI in critical care settings, but applying an explainable cardiopulmonary interaction model specifically for major liver surgery is relatively novel.
