AI-Driven Multimodal Risk Assessment Combining CT Imaging Biomarkers and Frailty Scores for Enhanced Mortality Prediction in Surgery Patients.
BACKGROUND Automated frailty assessment predicts postoperative mortality, but routinely acquired CT imaging may provide complementary physiologic information. We evaluated whether AI-derived CT biomarkers improve one-year mortality prediction beyond an ICD-based Risk Analysis Index (RAI-ICD). STUDY DESIGN This retros...
