Abstract

BACKGROUND: The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led to its widespread application across various domains, showing encouraging outcomes. Many studies have utilized AI to forecast emergency department (ED) disposition, aiming to forecast patient outcomes earlier and to allocate resources better; however, a dearth of comprehensive review literature exists to assess the objective performance standards of these predictive models using quantitative evaluations. This study aims to conduct a meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic accuracy of AI in predicting ED disposition, encompassing admission, critical care, and mortality.
