Supervised machine learning to predict non-home discharge following surgical treatment of pelvic fractures Open
Background: Decision-tree-based machine learning (ML) algorithms such as random forest (RF) are useful for their ability to predict outcomes and rank variables according to their utility in the decision-making process. This study utilizes …
View article: Supervised machine learning algorithms used to predict post-surgical outcomes following anterior surgical fixation of odontoid fractures
Supervised machine learning algorithms used to predict post-surgical outcomes following anterior surgical fixation of odontoid fractures Open
Background: Odontoid fractures have a high mortality rate, and numerous classification systems have previously predicted surgical outcomes with mixed consensus. We generated a machine learning (ML) construct to predict post-operative adver…
