Predicting postoperative opioid use with machine learning and insurance claims in opioid-naïve patients.

BACKGROUND: The clinical impact of postoperative opioid use requires accurate prediction strategies to identify at-risk patients. We utilize preoperative claims data to predict postoperative opioid refill and new persistent use in opioid-naïve patients.

Early identification of epilepsy surgery candidates: A multicenter, machine learning study.

OBJECTIVES: Epilepsy surgery is underutilized. Automating the identification of potential surgical candidates may facilitate earlier intervention. Our objective was to develop site-specific machine learning (ML) algorithms to identify candidates before they undergo surgery.
