Inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) is one of the common complications of surgery, which can lead to a series of adverse consequences. In recent years, with the deepening development of precision medicine concepts, establishing predictive models to identify the risk of IPH early and implementing targeted interventions has become an important research direction for perioperative management. This article reviews the current research status of IPH predictive models in adults, focusing on the research design, modeling methods, selection of prediction factors, and prediction performance of different predictive models. It also explores the advantages and limitations of existing models, aiming to provide references for the selection, application, and optimization of relevant predictive models.
