Analysis of prognostic factors for survival after surgery for gallbladder cancer based on a Bayesian network

Abstract The factors underlying prognosis for gallbladder cancer (GBC) remain unclear. This study combines the Bayesian network (BN) with importance measures to identify the key factors that influence GBC patient survival time. A dataset of 366 patients who underwent surgical treatment for GBC was e...
