Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable death in trauma. Accurately predicting a patient's blood transfusion requirement is essential but can be difficult. Machine learning (ML) is a field of artificial intelligence that is emerging within medicine for accurate prediction modeling. This systematic review aimed to identify and evaluate all ML models that predict blood transfusion in trauma.
