    The study classified blood glucose trajectories in non-diabetic patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty using group-based trajectory models.

  • 2

    Three distinct blood glucose trajectory groups were identified: normal, slightly increased, and hyperglycemic with fluctuations.

  • 3

    Predictive factors for blood glucose trajectories included age, RBC count post-surgery, hypertension, and intraoperative blood transfusion.

  • 4

    The random forest model achieved an overall accuracy rate of 78.3% in predicting blood glucose trajectories in TJA patients.

  • 5

    The model had limited ability to identify patients with hyperglycemic trajectories at the current classification threshold.
