Given the inherent risks associated with blood transfusion and the critical need for accurate prediction, this study identified and assessed models based on their development, validation, and predictive performance. The review included five studies encompassing various surgical procedures and approaches. Predicting factors commonly used across these models included preoperative hematocrit, race, surgical route, and uterine fibroid characteristics. However, the review highlighted significant variability in the definition of perioperative periods, a lack of standardization in transfusion criteria, and a high risk of bias in most models due to methodological issues, such as a low number of events per variable, inappropriate handling of continuous and categorical predictors, inappropriate handling of missing data, improper methods of predictor selection, inappropriate measurement methods for model performance, and inadequate evaluations of model overfitting and optimism in model performance. Despite some models demonstrating good discrimination and calibration, the overall quality and external validation of these models were limited. Consequently, there is a clear need for more robust and externally validated models to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in gynecologic surgery. Future research should focus on refining these models, incorporating rigorous validation, and adhering to standardized reporting practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14182018","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,12]],"date-time":"2024-09-12T02:30:23Z","timestamp":1726108223000},"page":"2018","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prediction Models for Perioperative Blood Transfusion in Patients Undergoing Gynecologic Surgery: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Zhongmian","family":"Pan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand"},{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities, Baise 533000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1683-6024","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kittipat","family":"Charoenkwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"569","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(15)60160-X","article-title":"Global Surgery 2030: Evidence and solutions for achieving health, welfare, and economic development","volume":"386","author":"Meara","year":"2015","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"585","DOI":"10.1136\/ijgc-2022-004228","article-title":"Adverse postoperative outcomes associated with perioperative blood transfusion in gynecologic oncology surgery","volume":"33","author":"Swift","year":"2023","journal-title":"Int.
