Establishment of a Risk Prediction Model for Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation After Liver Transplantation: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

Clinical takeawayConsider using the nomogram to estimate PMV risk in liver transplant recipients for early intervention planning and resource allocation.
What it foundA nomogram predicts prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) after liver transplantation with a C-index of 0.780 (95% CI, 0.734-0.827), validated at 0.731 (95% CI, 0.653-0.810), using ASA ≥3, pre-LT mechanical ventilation, MELD score, albumin levels, and anhepatic phase.
ContextThis refines risk stratification for PMV post-LT, a known complication, by providing a validated predictive tool based on multicenter data.
No standard claimed for this paper

Every paper is compared to the standard governing its question. This one is not: either no standard in the corpus matches it, or the comparison did not hold up on review and was withdrawn rather than published unverified. Both are logged.
