- Title

- Abstract
The article discusses a study that developed a model to predict the length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) after pediatric liver transplantations. The authors identified certain risk factors, such as pretransplant hospital admission and postoperative adverse events, that were associated with prolonged ICU stay. However, the article points out that the model has limitations, such as not providing details on the factors that led to hospital admission or return to the operating room (OR), which limits its practical application. The authors suggest that further clarification and additional information would strengthen the predictive model and improve clinical decisions.
