Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although risk calculators are used to prognosticate postoperative outcomes following revision total hip and knee arthroplasty (total joint arthroplasty [TJA]), machine learning (ML) based predictive tools have emerged as a promising alternative for improved risk stratification. This study aimed to compare the predictive ability of ML models for 30-day mortality following revision TJA to that of traditional risk-assessment indices such as the CARDE-B score (congestive heart failure, albumin (< 3.5 mg/dL), renal failure on dialysis, dependence for daily living, elderly (> 65 years of age), and body mass index (BMI) of < 25 kg/m2), 5-item modified frailty index (5MFI), and 6MFI.
