Abstract

BACKGROUND: The application of machine learning (ML) in predicting the requirement for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients has been acknowledged. Nonetheless, the variables employed in the development of ML models are diverse and these different approaches yield inconsistent predictive performance of models. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the feasibility of ML in identifying candidates for TKA.
