PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review examines recent research on artificial intelligence focusing on machine learning (ML) models for predicting postoperative pain outcomes. We also identify technical, ethical, and practical hurdles that demand continued i...
Poor pain alleviation remains a problem following orthopedic surgery, leading to prolonged recovery time, increased morbidity, and prolonged opioid use after hospitalization. Wearable device data, collected during postsurgical recovery, may help amel...
BACKGROUND: We lack evidence on the cumulative effectiveness of machine learning (ML)-driven interventions in perioperative settings. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to appraise the evidence on the impact of ML-driven interventions on per...
BACKGROUND: Persistent opioid use is a common occurrence after surgery and prolonged exposure to opioids may result in escalation and dependence. The objective of this study was to develop machine-learning-based predictive models for persistent opioi...
BACKGROUND: Acute pain management is critical in postoperative care, especially in vulnerable patient populations that may be unable to self-report pain levels effectively. Current methods of pain assessment often rely on subjective patient reports o...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a new frontier for aiding in the management of both acute and chronic pain, which may potentially transform opioid prescribing practices and addiction prevention strategies. In this review paper,...
The use of machine learning to predict postoperative pain and opioid use has likely been catalyzed by the availability of complex patient-level data, computational and statistical advancements, the prevalence and impact of chronic postsurgical pain, ...
Machine learning (ML) has been extensively utilized to predict complications associated with various diseases. This study aimed to develop ML-based classifiers employing a stacking ensemble strategy to forecast the intensity of postoperative axial pa...

Postoperative pain is a relevant and unresolved problem in clinical practice. In order to reduce the occurrence of severe postoperative pain, preventive, multi-professional and target group-specific pain management should be implemented. Risk assessm...
BACKGROUND: Effective management of postoperative pain remains a significant challenge in obstetric care due to the variability in pain perception and response influenced by physical, medical, and psychosocial factors. Current standardized pain manag...
