Risk Factors For Mortality In Patients Undergoing Thoracic Surgery: A Systematic Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Despite advances in surgical techniques, anesthesia, and perioperative care, complications and mortality in thoracic surgery patients still occur. This study aims to identify risk factors for mortality in patients undergoing thoracic surgery. The database was searched for articles published in 2019–2024 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols method, and 12 articles met the inclusion criteria. Quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. A total of 25 mortality risk factors were identified and grouped into three categories, namely preoperative (n = 17), intraoperative (n = 3), and postoperative (n = 5), with preoperative factors as the most dominant category. These results indicate that a thorough evaluation of the patient's condition before surgery, as well as risk mitigation during and after surgical intervention are very important in reducing mortality rates. These findings can be used as a basis for the development of risk stratification and clinical decision making in thoracic surgery patients.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
