"ChatGPT versus the neurosurgical written boards: a comparative analysis of artificial intelligence/machine learning performance on board–style questions" published 24 Mar 2023 by American Association Neurological Surgeons.
INTRODUCTION: Determining the value of a neurosurgeon is complex and, as healthcare reimbursement transitions towards value-based/bundled payments, such determinations have become increasingly difficult and confusing. METHODS: A neurosurgical model for hospitals was created using Medicare methods to estimate financial contribution single hospital system. Furthermore, 5,380 organizations 990 IRS tax filings were examined comparative trends in profits revenue on hospital-wide basis. RESULTS:...
INTRODUCTION: The rapid ascent of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced machine learning has revolutionized certain aspects healthcare. Document dictation remains a significant clinical burden, contributing to burnout detracting from quality patient care. Generative AI systems utilizing transformer-based technology offer efficient speech processing methods, adaptation which could streamline the work documentation. METHODS: Ten previously written operative reports both cranial spinal...
INTRODUCTION: The management of ruptured complex posterior circulation aneurysms remains challenging. Cerebral bypass techniques combined with endovascular embolization offer a unique multidisciplinary approach. METHODS: We analyzed retrospective data from patients who underwent for January 2016 to July 2023. sourced an IRB-approved, prospectively maintained database included patient demographics, clinical status, aneurysm characteristics, treatments, complications, and neurological...
Introduction Distal medium vessel occlusion (DVO) thrombectomy has been shown to be efficacious with safety profiles comparable large (LVO) thrombectomy. A novel, highly-trackable, bevel-tipped Zoom 35 catheter can used as an aspiration for DVO Methods This is a retrospective, single-arm, multi-institutional observational study evaluating the efficacy and of using catheter. Patient demographics, presenting discharge NIHSS, primary rescue thrombectomy, site occlusion, TICI score, intracranial...
Open and endoscope-assisted repair are surgical options for sagittal craniosynostosis, with limited research evaluating each technique's immediate long-term costs. This study investigates the cost-effectiveness of open single, suture craniosynostosis.
Little is understood about the role that health disparities play in treatment and management of brain tumors children. The purpose this study was to determine if impact timing initial follow-up care patients, as well overall survival.
Background: The global coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in procedural delays around the world; however, timely and aggressive surgical resection for malignant brain tumor patients is essential outcome optimization. To investigate association between COVID-19 outcomes of these patients, we queried 2020 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) differences rates resection, time to surgery, mortality, discharge disposition with without confirmed infection. Methods: Patient data...
INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have transformed healthcare, with applications in various specialized medical fields. Neurosugery can benefit from AI surgical planning, predicting patient outcomes, analyzing neuroimaging data. GPT-4, an updated advanced language model by OpenAI additional training parameters, has exhibited exceptional performance on standardized exams. METHODS: GPT-4's was examined 643 Congress of Neurological Suregons (CNS)...
COVID-19 had massive effects on the healthcare system and multifactorial implications for management of intensive care unit cerebrovascular patients. This study aimed to assess effect outcomes patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
Isolated, nondisplaced skull fractures (ISFs) are a common result of pediatric head trauma. They rarely require surgical intervention; however, many patients with these injuries still admitted to the hospital for observation. This retrospective study investigates predictors vomiting and ondansetron use following ISFs role that factors play in need admission emergency department (ED) revisits.
Venous thromboembolic event (VTE) after spine surgery is a rare but potentially devastating complication. With the advent of machine learning, an opportunity exists for more accurate prediction such events to aid in prevention and treatment.Seven models were screened using 108 database variables 62 preoperative variables. These included deep neural network (DNN), DNN with synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE), logistic regression, ridge lasso simple linear gradient boosting...
OBJECTIVE Many patients undergoing spinal fusion for neuromuscular scoliosis have preexisting neurosurgical implants, including ventricular shunts (VSs) hydrocephalus and baclofen pumps (BPs) spastic cerebral palsy. Recent studies discussed a possible increase in implant complication rates following fusion, but published data are inconclusive. The authors therefore, sought to investigate: 1) the rate of complications 2) causes these complications, 3) factors that place at higher risk...
INTRODUCTION: The milestones that a resident or fellow should reach to achieve competence in cerebral angiography have yet be defined. METHODS: Two neurosurgical residents were given written knowledge exam before and after rotating on the endovascular service. Cerebral diagnostic treatment cases prospectively collected novel web-based, multi-institutional feedback application. These performed under graduated supervision while wearing head-mounted cameras for subsequent review with direct...
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Fusiform vertebrobasilar aneurysms carry significant morbidity. Endovascular strategies are preferred; however, unsafe or unfeasible access can call for innovative strategies. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: An octogenarian patient with an enlarging fusiform proximal basilar artery aneurysm causing a sixth nerve palsy was found to have multiple anatomic features that precluded transradial transfemoral endovascular approach. She thus treated direct microsurgical of the V3...
