Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Viscoelastic creep behaviour of RBCs determines their dimensional stability and thus contributes to their clinical performance. However, due to complex material compositional variations and differing testing protocols, comparing and analyzing the most effective factor affecting RBC viscoelastic creep behaviour is challenging. Hence, the present study aimed to establish a robust machine learning (ML) model based on datasets for creep behaviour of commercial RBCs to analyze and predict creep behaviour of RBCs and identify critical compositional factors contributing to their performance.
