The Impact of New Surgical Techniques on Geographical Unwarranted Variation: The Case of Benign Hysterectomy.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Since the 1980s, the international literature has reported variations for healthcare services, especially for elective ones. Variations are positive if they reflect patient preferences, while if they do not, they are unwarranted, and thus avoidable. ...

Key Experimental Factors of Machine Learning-Based Identification of Surgery Cancellations.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This study aimed to provide effective methods for the identification of surgeries with high cancellation risk based on machine learning models and analyze the key factors that affect the identification performance. The data covered the period from Ja...

The Use of Artificial Neural Network to Predict Surgical Outcomes After Inguinal Hernia Repair.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures. We developed and validated an artificial neural network (ANN) model for the prediction of surgical outcomes and the analysis of risk factors for inguinal he...

Can We Improve Prediction of Adverse Surgical Outcomes? Development of a Surgical Complexity Score Using a Novel Machine Learning Technique.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons
BACKGROUND: An optimal method to quantify surgical complexity using patient comorbidities derived from administrative billing data is lacking. We sought to develop a novel, easy-to-use surgical Complexity Score to accurately predict adverse outcomes ...

Predicting discharge placement after elective surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis using machine learning methods.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
PURPOSE: An excessive amount of total hospitalization is caused by delays due to patients waiting to be placed in a rehabilitation facility or skilled nursing facility (RF/SNF). An accurate preoperative prediction of who would need a RF/SNF place aft...

Development and Validation of a Machine Learning Algorithm After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: Applications to Length of Stay and Payment Models.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Value-based payment programs in orthopedics, specifically primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), present opportunities to apply forecasting machine learning techniques to adjust payment models to a specific patient or population. The objec...

Machine learning modeling for predicting hospital readmission following lumbar laminectomy.

Journal of neurosurgery. Spine
In BriefAuthors of this study analyzed hospital readmissions following laminectomy and developed predictive models to identify readmitted patients with an accuracy >95% when using all variables and >79% when using only predischarge variables. A model...

Are postoperative intravenous fluids in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy a necessity? A randomized clinical trial.

Surgery
BACKGROUND: Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy should be individualized according to each patient's weight, disease, and comorbidities, as well as the type and duration of the operative procedure. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy represents one of the most c...

Classification of hospital admissions into emergency and elective care: a machine learning approach.

Health care management science
Rising admissions from emergency departments (EDs) to hospitals are a primary concern for many healthcare systems. The issue of how to differentiate urgent admissions from non-urgent or even elective admissions is crucial. We aim to develop a model f...

Comparative Study Between Conventional Fasting Versus Overnight Infusion of Lipid or Carbohydrate on Insulin and Free Fatty Acids in Obese Patients Undergoing Elective On-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. A Prospective Randomized Trial.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVES: Postoperative insulin resistance represents a major component of postoperative metabolic disorder. The authors compared the effects of preoperative infusion of lipid emulsion or carbohydrate to conventional preoperative fasting on postope...
