Exploring Inflammatory-Related Factors Associated with Postoperative Length of Hospital Stay in Elderly Patients Undergoing Gastrointestinal Tumor Surgery Using Machine Learning.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The influencing factors of postoperative recovery in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor surgery are complex, and inflammatory responses have been confirmed to play a critical role. However, the specific impact of inflammatory cells on postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) in elderly patients following general anesthesia for gastrointestinal surgery remains unclear. Methods: This study collected perioperative data from elderly patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor surgery at a tertiary hospital between 2019 and 2023. By analyzing the relationship between perioperative factors and postoperative LOS, we first used the LASSO algorithm for variable selection and then employed XGBoost modeling to identify factors associated with rapid (LOS < 7 days) and delayed (LOS > 12 days) discharge. We further explored how inflammatory cells affect postoperative recovery in elderly patients, with results visualized using SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) plots. Results: A total of 300 elderly patients who underwent gastrointestinal tumor resection were included, with 58.7% male and a mean age of 72 ± 6.4 years. Key factors associated with rapid discharge included operative time, age, blood loss, total intraoperative fluid input, urine output, preoperative neutrophil percentage, hemoglobin, and preoperative creatinine. Specifically, a preoperative neutrophil percentage in the 60%-70% range was linked to faster discharge. For delayed discharge, significant factors included age, operative time, preoperative creatinine, preoperative hemoglobin, preoperative neutrophil percentage, intraoperative urine output, the difference in neutrophil counts between pre- and postoperative periods, total intraoperative fluid input, and blood loss. Patients with preoperative neutrophil percentages of 70%-80% and neutrophil count differences of 5%-25% were more likely to experience delayed discharge. Conclusion: In elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal tumor resection, preoperative neutrophil percentage and the change in neutrophil percentages from pre- to postoperative periods significantly influence postoperative LOS.
