Integrating StEP-COMPAC definition and enhanced recovery after surgery status in a machine-learning-based model for postoperative pulmonary complications in laparoscopic hepatectomy

Based on the most recent definition, a machine learning model was employed to predict the risk of PPCs following laparoscopic hepatectomy. Logistic regression was identified as the best-performing model. ERAS implementation was associated with a reduction in the number of PPCs.
