Traditional methods to assess the probability of storm-induced erosion and flooding from extreme water levels have limited use along the U.S. West Coast where swell dominates erosion and storm surge is limited.

In other surgical procedures such as gastrectomy, esophagectomy or resection of liver metastases, these complications are associated with poorer long-term survival. It is possible this happens in LT but there are not enough data to establish this relationship.

- Oil spill risk assessments help offshore oil and gas industries reduce the impact of deep spills by simulating various environmental conditions.
- A new methodology integrates both surface and subsurface transport of oil using data-mining techniques to select the most relevant met-ocean scenarios.
- This approach was successfully applied in the North Sea, demonstrating its ability to predict oil contamination probabilities effectively while maintaining efficient computational demands.
Background: The Balance of Risk (BAR) score is a simple test that combines donor and recipient variables to predict liver transplant success. It has been validated in different publications, with cut-off points of between 15 and 18 points proposed depending on the region. The aim of this study is to test the validity of the BAR score and to find the optimal cut-off point for our population.
