Aims This study used an artificial neural network (ANN) model to determine the most important pre- and perioperative variables predict same-day discharge in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Data for this were collected from National Surgery Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database year 2018. Patients who received a primary, elective, unilateral TKA with diagnosis of primary osteoarthritis included. Demographic, preoperative, intraoperative analyzed. The ANN was...

Study Designs Retrospective Database Analysis. Objectives Pre-operative glycemic control in diabetic patients undergoing lumbar fusion (LF) is essential for evaluating complication risk. However, current thresholds preoperative HbA1c and same-day-glucose (SDG) are either non-specific or have low predictive power. This study uses SDG to provide data-driven risk stratification 90-day major wound complications LF patients. Methods Using a national database, from 2013-2022 with recorded level...

Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study. Objective Isthmic spondylolisthesis is frequently encountered in spine surgical practice, though there a significant variation management strategies. We sought to evaluate revision rates between patients who underwent anterior-approach lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) alone, posterolateral (PLF) PLIF/TLIF, and ALIF+PSF. Methods This retrospective study utilized large commercial insurance claims database of ≤65 years-old. Patients with isthmic...

Background This retrospective review aimed to specify whether the 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) is a valid measure for surgeons when assessing likelihood of complications in patients undergoing total elbow arthroplasty (TEA). Methods TEA 50 years or older were identified from NSQIP database 2006 2019. Patients stratified based on age create 50+, 65+, and an 80-89-year-old cohort. Thirty-day outcomes assessed this study included mortality, unplanned readmission, return operating room,...
