Development and validation of a hypoxemia prediction model in middle-aged and elderly outpatients undergoing painless gastroscopy
Abstract Hypoxemia is a common complication associated with anesthesia in painless gastroscopy. With the aging of the social population, the number of cases of hypoxemia among middle-aged and elderly patients is increasing.

| description | Abstract Hypoxemia is a common complication associated with anesthesia in painless gastroscopy. With the aging of the social population, the number of cases of hypoxemia among middle-aged and elderly patients is increasing. However, tools for predicting hypoxemia in middle-aged and elderly patients are lacking. In this study, we investigated the risk factors for hypoxemia in middle-aged and elderly outpatients undergoing painless gastroscopy based on machine learning and constructed a risk prediction model. In this retrospective study, we included the data on 1,348 outpatients undergoing painless gastroscopy. In total, 26 characteristic variables, including demographic information, past medical history, and clinical data of the patients were included, and BorutaShap was used for feature selection. Five machine learning algorithm models, including logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), were selected. The best models were selected based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Model feature importance was explained and analyzed using Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP). The endpoint event of this study was considered to be hypoxemia during the procedure, defined as at least one occurrence of pulse oxygen saturation below 90% without probe misalignment or interference from the beginning of anesthesia induction to the end of painless gastroscopy. In the final cohort of 984 patients, 11% of patients (108/984) experienced hypoxemia during the painless gastroscopy procedure. The AUROCs of the five models were as follows: Logistic Regression (AUROC = 0.893, 95CI: 0.881–0.899), SVM (AUROC = 0.855, 95CI: 0.812–0.884), Random Forest (AUROC = 0.914, 95CI: 0.889–0.924), XGB (AUROC = 0.902, 95CI: 0.865–0.919), and LightGBM (AUROC = 0.891, 95CI: 0.847–0.917). Regarding the explanation of the importance of SHAP features, preoperative variables (baseline SpO2, body mass index, and micrognathia) and intraoperative variables (operating time of gastroscopy, induction dose of etomidate and propofol mixture, append anesthetic, cough, and repeated pharyngeal irritation) significantly contributed to the model. We identified eight potential risk factors related to the occurrence of hypoxemia in middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing painless gastroscopy, based on machine learning feature engineering. Among the five machine learning algorithms, RF exhibited the best predictive performance in the internal test set and had a certain degree of generalization ability in the external validation set, which indicated that the RF model was more suitable for the data framework of this study. This model was more likely to enhance the accuracy of hypoxemia prediction in middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing painless gastroscopy, and thus, it is suitable for assisting anesthesiologists in clinical decision-making. |
