A machine learning approach for predictive models of adverse events following spine surgery.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND: Rates of adverse events following spine surgery vary widely by patient-, diagnosis-, and procedure-related factors. It is critical to understand the expected rates of complications and to be able to implement targeted efforts at limiting ...

Development of machine learning algorithms for prediction of prolonged opioid prescription after surgery for lumbar disc herniation.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Spine surgery has been identified as a risk factor for prolonged postoperative opioid use. Preoperative prediction of opioid use could improve risk stratification, shared decision-making, and patient counseling before surgery.

Development of a machine learning algorithm for prediction of failure of nonoperative management in spinal epidural abscess.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Data regarding risk of failure of nonoperative management in spinal epidural abscess (SEA) are limited. Given the potential for deterioration with treatment failure, a tool that predicts the probability of failure would be of grea...

Machine learning for prediction of sustained opioid prescription after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The severity of the opioid epidemic has increased scrutiny of opioid prescribing practices. Spine surgery is a high-risk episode for sustained postoperative opioid prescription.

Deep learning-based preoperative predictive analytics for patient-reported outcomes following lumbar discectomy: feasibility of center-specific modeling.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: There is considerable variability in patient-reported outcome measures following surgery for lumbar disc herniation. Individualized prediction tools that are derived from center- or even surgeon-specific data could provide valuabl...

Biomechanical advantages of robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation in posterior lumbar interbody fusion compared with freehand technique in a prospective randomized controlled trial-perspective for patient-specific finite element analysis.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: There have been conflicting results on the surgical outcome of lumbar fusion surgery using two different techniques: robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation and conventional freehand technique. In addition, there have been no studie...
