Background And Objective: Predicting postoperative prognosis is vital for clinical decision making in patients undergoing adrenalectomy (ADX). This study introduced GAPPA, a novel GNN-based approach, to predict post-ADX outcomes in patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism (UPA). The objective was to leverage the intricate dependencies between clinico-biochemical features and clinical outcomes using GNNs integrated into a bipartite graph structure to enhance prognostic prediction accuracy.

Background: Oncostatin M (OSM), a 28 kDa glycoprotein 130 pleiotropic cytokine belonging to the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family, is mainly produced by neutrophils, activated T cells, monocytes, and macrophages. In response to tissue injury, it may stimulate the production of IL-6 alone or act synergistically with IL-6 or TNF-α contributing to the inflammatory cycle. Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease resulting from a dysbiotic bacterial community, which has a strong association with increased OSM production.
