Resumen
Se desarrolló un modelo predictivo basado en inteligencia artificial para identificar tempranamente complicaciones posquirúrgicas mediante indicadores clínicos y funcionales. Se analizaron 10.000 registros sintéticos del conjunto TERMINET mediante regresión logística, Random Forest y XGBoost, utilizando partición estratificada, validación cruzada y métricas de discriminación y calibración. Los modelos mostraron capacidad predictiva excepcional, con clasificación perfecta para regresión logística y Random Forest. El análisis SHAP identificó sodio, nitrógeno ureico, creatinina y parámetros relacionados con INR entre los principales predictores. Los resultados demuestran viabilidad computacional, aunque su elevado desempeño requiere interpretación cautelosa y validación externa posterior utilizando cohortes clínicas reales e independientes.
