Description
Jing Zhang and colleagues build a pre-surgery chart in 2026 to predict heavy drain output after robotic bile duct repair in children. The surgery fixes a cyst on the bile duct, and drains are placed by routine. No tool existed to flag which children would drain heavily. Records of 129 children were split by weight-adjusted daily drain volume.
Younger age clearly predicted heavy output, while larger cyst size showed a weaker trend in the same direction. The final chart blends cyst size, age, body mass, and two blood measures. It sorted high from low drainers fairly well and matched observed rates closely. Such a chart could support earlier drain removal for low-risk children.
