Heparin is an effective treatment for preventing liver failure after hepatectomy

Figure 1 Study pipeline, prediction model performance, and effect of heparin on post-hepatectomy liver failure. A: Study pipeline showing the selection of hepatic disease patients from the Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care III database, criteria for inclusion and exclusion, and the final cohort of patients who underwent hepatectomy. Propensity score matching was used to balance the heparin and heparin-free groups; B: Receiver operating characteristic curve showing the performance of the prediction model; C: Forest plot illustrating the effect of heparin on various clinical outcomes in the post-hepatectomy liver failure cohort. MIMIC: Multiparameter Intelligent Monitoring in Intensive Care; ICU: Intensive care unit; HR: Hazard ratio; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval; AUC: Area under the curve.
