Risk Prediction Models for Perioperative Hypothermia: A Systematic Review by Liu J, Liu F, Xu W, Du L, Li Y, Liang A, Li B, Zhang M

“…The most common predictors were age, baseline temperature, BMI, fluid/infusion/rehydration volume, operating room temperature, anesthetic time, and operative time.Conclusion: The overall discrimination and applicability of perioperative hypothermia risk prediction models are good, but the risk of bias is high and the quality of studies needs to be further improved. In the future, a more standardized approach should be used to optimize existing models, develop more targeted prediction models with a low risk of bias, and conduct internal and external validation to improve their predictive accuracy in clinical application.Keywords: perioperative hypothermia, prediction, model, systematic review…”
