摘要

Endoscopic interventions are essential for diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal conditions. Accurate and comprehensive documentation is crucial for enhancing patient safety and optimizing clinical outcomes; however, adverse events remain underreported. This study evaluates a machine learning-based approach for systematically detecting endoscopic adverse events from real-world clinical metadata, including structured hospital data such as ICD-codes and procedure timings. Using a random forest classifier detecting adverse events perforation, bleeding, and readmission, we analysed 2490 inpatient cases, achieving significant improvements over baseline prediction accuracy. The model achieved AUC-ROC/AUC-PR values of 0.9/0.69 for perforation, 0.84/0.64 for bleeding, and 0.96/0.9 for readmissions. Results highlight the importance of multiple metadata features for robust predictions. This semi-automated method offers a privacy-preserving tool for identifying documentation discrepancies and enhancing quality control. By integrating metadata analysis, this approach supports better clinical decision-making, quality improvement initiatives, and resource allocation while reducing the risk of missed adverse events in endoscopy.
