    A novel CT-derived body composition framework was developed to predict adverse postoperative outcomes in small bowel obstruction patients.

  • 2

    Low skeletal muscle density was identified as a significant predictor of postoperative sepsis, ICU admission, and complications.

  • 3

    The study analyzed 270 SBO patients, revealing that 68 required ICU admission and 105 experienced significant postoperative complications.

  • 4

    The predictive model demonstrated strong discriminative ability, with AUC values ranging from 0.72 to 0.84 across training and validation sets.

  • 5

    This multidimensional nomogram enhances early postoperative risk stratification, optimizing monitoring and ICU resource allocation.
