To explore the use of machine learning algorithms in predicting intraoperative bleeding across various surgical settings and to evaluate the impact of model-building methods on prediction outcomes.
Approach:
Key Findings:
Current predictive tools for intraoperative bleeding are limited by subjective assessment methods and calculation-based inaccuracies.
Traditional prediction models like logistic regression are constrained by linear assumptions, while machine learning methods show improved predictive accuracy.
Existing research on ML for intraoperative bleeding is fragmented, focusing on single procedures with variable methodological quality.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The review may not encompass all relevant studies due to the search strategy and eligibility criteria.
Methodological limitations in existing studies, such as inconsistent data preprocessing and lack of robust external validation.
Conclusion:
The integration and assessment of machine learning methodologies in intraoperative bleeding prediction require systematic approaches to address current fragmentation and methodological concerns.
