Logistic regression with Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) was applied for model development. Discrimination and calibration measures were estimated and clinical utility was explored with decision curve analysis (DCA). Reproducibility and heterogeneity were examined with Bootstrap-based internal validation and Internal\u2013External Cross-Validation. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program\u2019s (ACS-NSQIP) model was applied to the same cohort to establish a benchmark for the new model.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>From data on 633 eligible patients (175 complication events), the SErious complications After Laparotomy (SEAL) model was developed with 6 predictors (preoperative albumin, blood urea nitrogen, American Society of Anaesthesiology score, sepsis or septic shock, dependent functional status, and ascites). SEAL had good discriminative ability (optimism-corrected c-statistic: 0.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79\u20130.81), calibration (optimism-corrected calibration slope: 1.01, 95% CI 0.99\u20131.03) and overall fit (scaled Brier score: 25.1%, 95% CI 24.1\u201326.1%).
