Studies evaluating the ability of machine learning algorithms to predict healthcare utilization of  TSA

Author, year Outcomes measured Follow up Most accurate algorithm Mean absolute error Outcomes
Biron et al., (2020) [26] Length of stay N/A N/A N/A Machine learning may be used to predict whether individuals had a one-day LOS or shorter following TSA
Karnuta et al., (2020) [28] Length of stay, discharge disposition, and inpatient charges 1 Month N/A

Accuracy in Chronic/degenerative conditions

-Total Cost: 76.5%

-Length of Stay: 91.8%

-Disposition (home): 73.1%

Accuracy in Acute/traumatic conditions

-Total Cost: 70.3%

-Length of Stay: 79.1%

-Disposition (home): 72%

For both chronic/degenerative and acute/traumatic shoulder arthroplasty, artificial neural networks displayed medium to high accuracy and reliability in predicting inpatient cost, LOS, and discharge disposition
Lopez et al., (2021) [33] Non-home discharge and 30-day postoperative complication rates 1 Month Both had similar accuracy, but the artificial Neural Network had better discriminative ability

Accuracy for Artificial Neural Network

Non-home discharge Accuracy:

-Boosted Decision Tree: 90.3%

-Artificial Neural Network: 89.9%

Machine learning has the capacity to reliably predict non-home discharge following elective TSA
Lopez et al., (2022) [34] Prolonged operative time and 30-day postoperative complication rates 1 Month Artificial Neural Network

Accuracy for Artificial Neural Network

Prolonged operative time Accuracy:

-Boosted Decision Tree: 85.6%

-Artificial Neural Network: 84.7%

Machine learning models can predict which patients are more likely to require longer TSA operations
