Core Tip

Core Tip: This multicenter study demonstrates that machine learning models based on routine clinical data can effectively predict thrombotic risk in patients with nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding, outperforming the traditional D-dimer biomarker. The classification boosting algorithm model exhibited the best performance, aiding in the clinical identification of high-risk patients for early intervention while avoiding excessive monitoring in low-risk individuals, thereby advancing thromboprophylaxis strategies toward precision medicine.
