Abstract

BACKGROUND: Many machine learning (ML) algorithms have been used to develop surgical site infection (SSI) prediction models, but little is known about their predicting performance. We conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the performance of different ML algorithms and to explore which one may perform best.
