Machine-learning models for predicting surgical site infections using patient pre-operative risk and surgical procedure factors.

American journal of infection control
BACKGROUND: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant health care problem as they can cause increased medical costs and increased morbidity and mortality. Assessing a patient's preoperative risk factors can improve risk stratification and hel...

Risk Factors Analysis of Surgical Infection Using Artificial Intelligence: A Single Center Study.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Surgical site infections (SSIs) have a major role in the evolution of medical care. Despite centuries of medical progress, the management of surgical infection remains a pressing concern. Nowadays, the SSIs continue to be an important factor able to...

Outcomes of open transverse abdominis release for ventral hernias: a systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression of factors affecting them.

Hernia : the journal of hernias and abdominal wall surgery
OBJECTIVES: The primary objectives were to evaluate Surgical Site Occurrences (SSO) and Surgical Site Occurrences requiring procedural Intervention (SSOPI) after open transversus abdominis release and to study various factors affecting it. Secondary ...

Robotic colon surgery in obese patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ANZ journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Colon cancer resection can be technically difficult in the obese (OB) population. Robotic surgery is a promising technique but its benefits remain uncertain in OB patients. The aim of this study is to compare OB versus non-obese (NOB) pat...

Machine Learning-Based Gynecologic Tumor Diagnosis and Its Postoperative Incisional Infection Influence Factor Analysis.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Various factors influencing postoperative incisional infection in gynecologic tumors were analyzed, and the value of quality nursing intervention was studied. In this study, 74 surgically treated gynecologic tumor patients were randomly selected from...

Applying Machine Learning Across Sites: External Validation of a Surgical Site Infection Detection Algorithm.

Journal of the American College of Surgeons
BACKGROUND: Surgical complications have tremendous consequences and costs. Complication detection is important for quality improvement, but traditional manual chart review is burdensome. Automated mechanisms are needed to make this more efficient. To...

Accelerating Surgical Site Infection Abstraction With a Semi-automated Machine-learning Approach.

Annals of surgery
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that a semi-automated approach to health data abstraction provides significant efficiencies and high accuracy.

Artificial intelligence-based tools to control healthcare associated infections: A systematic review of the literature.

Journal of infection and public health
BACKGROUND: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are the most frequent adverse events in healthcare and a global public health concern. Surveillance is the foundation for effective HAIs prevention and control. Manual surveillance is labor intensiv...

Using Natural Language Processing to improve EHR Structured Data-based Surgical Site Infection Surveillance.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Surgical Site Infection surveillance in healthcare systems is labor intensive and plagued by underreporting as current methodology relies heavily on manual chart review. The rapid adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) has the potential to allo...
