Retrospective study of postoperative pleural effusion with hypoxemia in critically ill pancreatic surgery patients: model development and restricted cubic spline analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pleural effusion is a common postoperative complication following pancreatic surgery. It is associated with hypoxemia, often requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation and contributing to adverse clinical outcomes. Identifying risk factors and developing predictive models in critically ill patients after pancreatic surgery may facilitate early recognition and guide timely interventions to improve prognosis.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 518 intensive care unit (ICU)-admitted patients who underwent pancreatic surgery at Peking University People's Hospital from January 2016 to June 2024. Patients were grouped by postoperative pleural effusion status. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-logistic was used to identify key predictors and guide
