Leveraging interpretable machine learning algorithms to predict postoperative patient outcomes on mobile devices.

Surgery
Setting patient and family expectations for postoperative outcomes is an important aspect of care, a cornerstone of which is accurate, personalized, and explainable risk estimation. Modern machine learning offers a plethora of models that can effecti...

Prediction of Postoperative Length of Hospital Stay Based on Differences in Nursing Narratives in Elderly Patients with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

Methods of information in medicine
OBJECTIVES:  The current study sought to evaluate whether nursing narratives can be used to predict postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) following curative surgery for ovarian cancer.

Development and Validation of a Machine Learning Model to Aid Discharge Processes for Inpatient Surgical Care.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Inpatient overcrowding is associated with delays in care, including the deferral of surgical care until beds are available to accommodate postoperative patients. Timely patient discharge is critical to address inpatient overcrowding and r...

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...

Robot Assisted Surgical Ward Rounds: Virtually Always There.

Journal of innovation in health informatics
 While an explosion in technological sophistication has revolutionized surgery within the operating theatre, delivery of surgical ward-based care has seen little innovation.  Use of telepresence allowing off-site clinicians communicate with patients ...

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...

Topical Tranexamic Acid Reduces Blood Loss in Minimally Invasive Total Knee Arthroplasty Receiving Rivaroxaban.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether topical (intra-articular) or intravenous TXA reduces blood loss in minimally invasive TKA patients receiving a direct oral anticoagulant for thromboprophylaxis. This study is to investigate whether TXA given intraven...

Incidence and Predictors of Postoperative Need for High-Dose Inotropic Support in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery for Infective Endocarditis.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: Patients with infective endocarditis undergoing cardiac surgery are a high-risk population. Few data on incidence and predictors of need for high-dose inotropic support in this setting are currently available.
