Core Tip	The study evaluated the predictive accuracy of the pre-operative low anterior resection syndrome score (POLARS) in predicting low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) among 335 patients. Patients were categorized into no LARS, minor LARS, and major LARS based on POLARS scores. Significant differences in quality of life metrics were identified between groups. While POLARS demonstrated effectiveness in predicting major LARS with an 82.35% precision and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 8.92, the XGBoost model outperformed it with an MAE of 6.29 and better recall, highlighting its superior predictive capabilities.
