Machine-learning models for the prediction of ideal surgical outcomes in patients with adult spinal deformity.

The bone & joint journal
AIMS: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery can reduce pain and disability. However, the actual surgical efficacy of ASD in doing so is far from desirable, with frequent complications and limited improvement in quality of life. The accurate prediction...

Preoperative anemia is an unsuspecting driver of machine learning prediction of adverse outcomes after lumbar spinal fusion.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Preoperative risk assessment remains a challenge in spinal fusion operations. Predictive modeling provides data-driven estimates of postsurgical outcomes, guiding clinical decisions and improving patient care. Moreover, automated ...

Deep learning based decision-making and outcome prediction for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with posterior surgery.

Scientific reports
With the emergence of numerous classifications, surgical treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) can be guided more effectively. However, surgical decision-making and optimal strategies still lack standardization and personalized customiz...

Machine learning models for predicting dysphonia following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a Swedish Registry Study.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND: Dysphonia is one of the more common complications following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). ACDF is the gold standard for treating degenerative cervical spine disorders, and identifying high-risk patients is therefore cruc...

Development of machine learning model for predicting prolonged operation time in lumbar stenosis undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion: a multicenter study.

The spine journal : official journal of the North American Spine Society
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Longer posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgeries for individuals with lumbar spinal stenosis are linked to more complications and negatively affect recovery after the operation. Therefore, there is a critical need for a m...

SafeRPlan: Safe deep reinforcement learning for intraoperative planning of pedicle screw placement.

Medical image analysis
Spinal fusion surgery requires highly accurate implantation of pedicle screw implants, which must be conducted in critical proximity to vital structures with a limited view of the anatomy. Robotic surgery systems have been proposed to improve placeme...

Unveiling surgical expertise through machine learning in a novel VR/AR spinal simulator: A multilayered approach using transfer learning and connection weights analysis.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Virtual and augmented reality surgical simulators, integrated with machine learning, are becoming essential for training psychomotor skills, and analyzing surgical performance. Despite the promise of methods like the Connection Weights Al...

Clinicosocial determinants of hospital stay following cervical decompression: A public healthcare perspective and machine learning model.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
OBJECTIVE: Post-operative length of hospital stay (LOS) is a valuable measure for monitoring quality of care provision, patient recovery, and guiding hospital resource management. But the impact of patient ethnicity, socio-economic deprivation as mea...
