Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis have developed machine-learning tools that can predict post-operative complications and surgery duration using perioperative data.
New research shows that machine-learning (ML) tools can use perioperative data to accurately predict post-operative complications and surgery duration.
Surgery and its potential complications create significant burdens on patients, providers, and health systems in terms of health outcomes and associated costs. Research suggests that approximately 7 to 15 percent of major surgery patients are expected to experience a major complication. The press release announcing the research indicates that one-third of hospitals’ expenses are spent on care to prevent these complications, which can be life-threatening.
Accurate risk stratification for patients undergoing surgery is key to preventing them. However,...
