Explainable Machine Learning Approach to Prediction of Prolonged Intesive Care Unit Stay in Adult Spinal Deformity Patients: Machine Learning Outperforms Logistic Regression.

We developed a ML model that was able to predict whether prolonged ICU stay was required in ASD patients. Further SHAP analysis demonstrated our model aligned with traditional clinical thinking. Thus, ML models have strong potential to assist with risk stratification and more effective and cost-efficient care.
