Does calculating the textbook outcome based on its negative predictors enhance the transparency of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma surgery assessment?

Key Points

• To explore how independent predictors of negative outcomes can enhance the assessment of surgical outcomes in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
• Identified independent predictors of non-target outcome (non-TO).
• Utilized TO coefficient calculations to estimate the impact of predictors.
• Ranked predictors based on their effect on TO realization.
• Independent predictors effectively improved transparency in assessing surgical outcomes.
• Applying coefficient calculations reduced biases in evaluating negative prognostic factors.
