XGBoost for Predict Incisional Hernia
An observational study of Incisional Hernia, run by Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad del Bajio at 1 site in Mexico.
Trial summary
The objective of this study is to develop a predictive model of IH based on machine learning with the use of the XGBoost technique, this will help surgeons in charge of abdominal wall closure to have objective support to determine high-risk patients and in them modify the closure technique or use a mesh according to… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Development and Internal Validation of a Machine Learning Model to Predict the Occurrence of Incisional Hernia After a Midline Laparotomy
The objective of this study is to develop a predictive model of IH based on machine learning with the use of the XGBoost technique, this will help surgeons in charge of abdominal wall closure to have objective support to determine high-risk patients and in them modify the closure technique or use a mesh according to their choice or the degree of contamination of the abdominal cavity.
Read the detailed description
Retrospective and observational study. The predictions will make using machine learning models. The programs use the scikit-learn, xgboost and catboost Python packages for modeling.
The evaluation of models will be using fourfold cross-validation, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the area under the ROC curve (AUC), and accuracy metrics calculated on the union of the test sets of the cross-validation.
The most critical factors and their contribution to the prediction will identify using a modern tool of explainable artificial intelligence called SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP).

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Not interventionDiagnostic test
Not having intervention is an observational study
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| With Incisional Hernia | The incisional hernia was defined according to the EHS guidelines as a mass in the abdominal wall with or without a visceral outlet or palpable in the surgical site determined by clinical examination or tomography, this group will present this complication. Receives: Diagnostic Test: Not intervention | |
| Without Incisional Hernia | The incisional hernia was defined according to the EHS guidelines as a mass in the abdominal wall with or without a visceral outlet or palpable in the surgical site determined by clinical examination or tomography, this group will not present this complication. Receives: Diagnostic Test: Not intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incisional Hernia
incidence of Incisional hernia (the incisional hernia was defined according to the EHS guidelines as: a mass in the abdominal wall with or without visceral outlet or palpable in the surgical site determined by clinical examination or tomography).
Measured: 24 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Facial dehiscence
Incidence of fascial dehiscence (the fascial dehiscence is the presentation of separation of fascie with leakage of contents from the abdominal cavity
Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Incisional Hernia, run by Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad del Bajio at 1 site in Mexico.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Edgard Efren Lozada Hernández, Dr (+524772745801, edgardlozada@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incisional Hernia (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05718999, which also lists 8 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Feb 2023.
