Although a number of clinical predictive models were developed to predict postoperative pulmonary infection, few predictive models have been used in elderly patients. In this study, the researchers aim to compare different algorithms to predict postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients and to assess the risk of postoperative pulmonary infection in elderly patients.
