Prediction model for haematoma after tissue expander placement: A retrospective cohort study of 7080 cases over 20 years

Haematoma is an early complication of tissue expander placement and can lead to infection, capsule contracture and various complications, hindering successful reconstruction. However, no scientific models can accurately predict the risk of haematoma following tissue expansion. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate a prediction model for haematoma following tissue expander placement. The medical records of patients who underwent expander placement between 2001 and 2021 were obtained from the clinical database of the Department of Plastic Surgery at the Xijing Hospital.
