OBJECTIVE: To establish a machine learning (ML)-based prediction model for readmission within 30 days (early readmission or early readmission) of patients based on their profile at index hospitalization for esophagectomy.
OBJECTIVES: This article aims to determine possible improvements made by feature extraction methods to the machine learning prediction methods for predicting 30-day hospital readmissions.
