Objective: Varicose vein ablation is generally indicated in patients with active/healed venous ulcers. However, patient selection for intervention in individuals without venous ulcers is less clear. Tools that predict lack of clinical improvement (LCI) following vein ablation may help guide clinical decision-making but remain limited.

Background And Purpose: Esophageal and gastric varices hemorrhage (EGVH) is a life-threatening condition with the 6-week mortality rate of 15-25%. Up to 60% of patients with EGVH may experience rebleeding with a mortality rate of 33%. The existing scoring systems, such as RS scoring system (Rockall score, RS) and GBS scoring system (Glasgow-Blatchford score, GBS), have limitations in predicting the risk of rebleeding.

Objective: To develop and compare machine learning models based on CT morphology features, serum biomarkers, and basic physical conditions to predict esophageal variceal bleeding.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred twenty-four cirrhotic patients with esophageal variceal bleeding and non-bleeding were included in the retrospective study. Clinical and serum biomarkers were used in our study.

Background: Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT) is a common complication after orthopedic surgery. Currently, a reliable assessment tool is lacking to evaluate the risk of postoperative LEDVT in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery. This study aims to explore the risk factors for LEDVT formation after lumbar fusion surgery and establish a predictive model for it.

Background: Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) still has a mortality rate of about 10%. Several pre-endoscopy scoring systems have been developed to predict the outcome, but none accurately predict mortality. The present study was aimed at comparing the new ABC score (age, blood tests and comorbidities) with other pre-existing scoring systems to predict mortality.
