Artificial Intelligence–Driven Prediction of Acute Kidney Injury Following Acute Type A Aortic Dissection Surgery in a Chinese Population

J Cardiothorac Vasc AnesthPublished Retrospective prediction model development and validation study

Authors' conclusion

ML models, particularly LightGBM, accurately predict postoperative AKI risk in ATAAD patients, offering a promising tool to enhance perioperative management and patient outcomes.
