Development and Validation of a Machine Learning Algorithm to Predict the Risk of Blood Transfusion after Total Hip Replacement in Patients with Femoral Neck Fractures: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.

Utilizing a computer algorithm, a prediction model with a high discrimination accuracy (AUC > 0.5) was developed. The logistic regression model demonstrated superior differentiation and reliability, thereby successfully passing external validation. The model's strong generalizability and applicability have significant implications for clinicians, aiding in the identification of patients at high risk for postoperative blood transfusion.
