Background: Postoperative fever (POF) is a common occurrence in patients undergoing major surgery, presenting challenges and burdens for both patients and surgeons yet. This study endeavors to examine the incidence, identify risk factors, and establish a machine learning-based predictive model for POF following surgery of oral cancer.

State Key Lab of Respiratory Diseases, Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health, Department of Critical Care Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, 151 Yanjiang Street West, Guangzhou, 510120, Guangdong, China.
Background: In the intensive care unit (ICU), invasive aspergillosis (IA) has a poor prognosis. Some studies report a positive association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and IA in critically ill patients, but the relationship between DM and IA in the ICU remains controversial. We aimed to clarify the relationship between DM and IA among patients in the ICU in a systematic review and meta-analysis.
