Abstract
OBJECTIVES The total laryngectomy is one of the most standardized major surgical procedures in otolaryngology. Several studies have proposed the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) as a solution to classifying postoperative complications into 5 grades from less severe to severe. Yet more data on classifying larger patient populations undergoing major otolaryngologic surgery according to the CDC are needed. Predicting postoperative complications in clinical practice is often subject to generalized clinical scoring systems with uncertain predictive abilities for otolaryngologic surgery. Machine learning offers methods to predict postoperative complications based on data obtained prior to surgery. METHODS We included all patients (N = 148) who underwent a total laryngectomy after diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma at our institution. A univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis of multiple complex risk factors was performed, and patients were grouped into severe postoperative complications (CDC ≥ 4) and less severe complications. Four different commonly used machine learning algorithms were trained on the dataset. The best model was selected to predict postoperative complications on the complete dataset. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that the most significant predictors for postoperative complications were the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and whether reconstruction was performed intraoperatively. A multivariate analysis showed that the CCI and reconstruction remained significant. The commonly used AdaBoost algorithm achieved the highest area under the curve with 0.77 with high positive and negative predictive values in subsequent analysis. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that postoperative complications can be classified according to the CDC with the CCI being a useful screening tool to predict patients at risk for postoperative complications. We provide evidence that could help identify single patients at risk for complications and customize treatment accordingly which could finally lead to a custom approach for every patient. We also suggest that there is no increase in complications with patients of higher age.

Abstract
Machine learning systems have become integrated into some of the most vital decision-making aspects of humanity, including hiring decisions, loan applications, and automobile safety, to name just a few. As applications increase in both gravity and complexity, the data quality and algorithmic interpretability of the systems must rise to meet those challenges. This is especially vital for navigating the nuances of health care, particularly among the high stakes of surgical operations. In addition to inherent ethical challenges of enabling a "black box" system to influence decision-making in patient care, the creation of biased datasets leads to biased algorithms with the power to perpetuate discrimination and reinforce disparities. Transparency and responsibility are paramount to the implementation of artificial intelligence in surgical decision-making and autonomous robotic surgery. Machine learning has been permeating health care across diverse clinical and surgical contexts but continues to face sizable obstacles, including apprehension from patients and providers alike. To integrate the technology fully while upholding standard of care and patient-provider trust, one must acknowledge and address the ethical, financial, and legal implications of using artificial intelligence for patient care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Machine learning (ML) has seen an increase in application, and is an important element of a digital evolution. The role of ML within upper gastrointestinal surgery for malignancies has not been evaluated properly in the literature. Therefore, this systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of ML applications within upper gastrointestinal surgery for malignancies. METHODS A systematic search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science. Studies were only included when they described machine learning in upper gastrointestinal surgery for malignancies. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used to determine the methodological quality of studies. The accuracy and area under the curve were evaluated, representing the predictive performances of ML models. RESULTS From a total of 1821 articles, 27 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies received a moderate risk-of-bias score. The majority of these studies focused on neural networks (n = 9), multiple machine learning (n = 8), and random forests (n = 3). Remaining studies involved radiomics (n = 3), support vector machines (n = 3), and decision trees (n = 1). Purposes of ML included predominantly prediction of metastasis, detection of risk factors, prediction of survival, and prediction of postoperative complications. Other purposes were predictions of TNM staging, chemotherapy response, tumor resectability, and optimal therapy. CONCLUSIONS Machine Learning algorithms seem to contribute to the prediction of postoperative complications and the course of disease after upper gastrointestinal surgery for malignancies. However, due to the retrospective character of ML studies, these results require trials or prospective studies to validate this application of ML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Machine learning is a set of models and methods that can automatically detect patterns in vast amounts of data, extract information, and use it to perform decision-making under uncertain conditions. The potential of machine learning is significant, and breast surgeons must strive to be informed with up-to-date knowledge and its applications. METHODS A systematic database search of Embase, MEDLINE, the Cochrane database, and Google Scholar, from inception to December 2021, was conducted of original articles that explored the use of machine learning and/or artificial intelligence in breast surgery in EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane database and Google Scholar. RESULTS The search yielded 477 articles, of which 14 studies were included in this review, featuring 73 847 patients. Four main areas of machine learning application were identified: predictive modelling of surgical outcomes; breast imaging-based context; screening and triaging of patients with breast cancer; and as network utility for detection. There is evident value of machine learning in preoperative planning and in providing information for surgery both in a cancer and an aesthetic context. Machine learning outperformed traditional statistical modelling in all studies for predicting mortality, morbidity, and quality of life outcomes. Machine learning patterns and associations could support planning, anatomical visualization, and surgical navigation. CONCLUSION Machine learning demonstrated promising applications for improving breast surgery outcomes and patient-centred care. Neveretheless, there remain important limitations and ethical concerns relating to implementing artificial intelligence into everyday surgical practices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-surgical complications (PSCs) have been an increasing concern for hospitals in light of Medicare penalties for 30-day readmissions. PSCs have become a target for quality improvement and benchmark for the healthcare system. Over half (60 %) of the deep or organ space surgical site infections are discovered after discharge, leading to a readmission. There has thus been a push to develop risk prediction models for targeted preventive interventions for PSCs. OBJECTIVE We experiment several Gated Recurrent Unit with Decay (GRU-D) based deep learning architectures with various feature sampling schemes in predicting the risk of colorectal PSCs and compare with atemporal logistic regression models (logit). METHOD We used electronic health record (EHR) data of 3,535 colorectal surgical patients involved in the national surgical quality improvement program (NSQIP) between 2006 and 2018. Single layer, stacked layer, and multimodal GRU-D models with sigmoid activation were used to develop risk prediction models. Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUROC) was calculated by comparing predicted probability of developing complications versus truly observed PSCs (NSQIP adjudicated) within 30 days after surgery. We set up cross-validation and an independent held-out dataset for testing model performance consistency. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The primary contribution of our study is the formulation of a novel real-time PSC risk prediction task using GRU-D with demonstrated clinical utility. GRU-D outperforms the logit model in predicting wound and organ space infection and shows improved performance as additional data points become available. Logit model outperforms GRU-D before surgery for superficial infection and bleeding. For the same sampling scheme, there is no obvious advantage of complex architectures (stacked, multimodal) over single layer GRU-D. Obtaining more data points closer to the occurrence of PSCs is more important than using a more frequent sampling scheme in training GRU-D models. The fourth predicted risk quartile by single layer GRU-D contains 63 %, 59 %, and 66 % organ space infection cases, at 4 h before, 72 h after, and 168 h after surgery, respectively, suggesting its potential application as a bedside risk assessment tool.

Abstract
Background In this retrospective, observational study we introduce the Cardiac Comorbidity Risk Score, predicting perioperative major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after elective hip and knee arthroplasty. MACE is a rare but important driver of mortality, and existing tools, eg, the Revised Cardiac Risk Index demonstrate only modest accuracy. We demonstrate an artificial intelligence-based approach to identify patients at high risk of MACE within 4 weeks (primary outcome) of arthroplasty, that imposes zero additional burden of cost/resources. Methods and Results Cardiac Comorbidity Risk Score calculation uses novel machine learning to estimate MACE risk from patient electronic health records, without requiring blood work or access to any demographic data beyond that of sex and age, and accounts for variable/missing/incomplete information across patient records. Validated on a deidentified cohort (age >45 years, n=445 391), performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operator characteristics curve (AUROC), sensitivity/specificity, positive predictive value, and positive/negative likelihood ratios. In our cohort (age 63.5±10.5 years, 58.2% women, 34.2%/65.8% hip/knee procedures), 0.19% (882) experienced the primary outcome. Cardiac Comorbidity Risk Score achieved area under the receiver operator characteristics curve=80.0±0.4% (95% CI) for women and 80.1±0.5% (95% CI) for males, with 36.4% and 35.1% sensitivities, respectively, at 95% specificity, significantly outperforming Revised Cardiac Risk Index across all studied age-, sex-, risk-, and comorbidity-based subgroups. Conclusions Cardiac Comorbidity Risk Score, a novel artificial intelligence-based screening tool using known and unknown comorbidity patterns, outperforms state-of-the-art in predicting MACE within 4 weeks postarthroplasty, and can identify patients at high risk that do not demonstrate traditional risk factors.

Abstract
Background and Objectives With the current advanced data‐driven approach to health care, machine learning is gaining more interest. The current study investigates the added value of machine learning to linear regression in predicting anastomotic leakage and pulmonary complications after upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery. Methods All patients in the Dutch Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Audit undergoing curatively intended esophageal or gastric cancer surgeries from 2011 to 2017 were included. Anastomotic leakage was defined as any clinically or radiologically proven anastomotic leakage. Pulmonary complications entailed: pneumonia, pleural effusion, respiratory failure, pneumothorax, and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Different machine learning models were tested. Nomograms were constructed using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator. Results Between 2011 and 2017, 4228 patients underwent surgical resection for esophageal cancer, of which 18% developed anastomotic leakage and 30% a pulmonary complication. Of the 2199 patients with surgical resection for gastric cancer, 7% developed anastomotic leakage and 15% a pulmonary complication. In all cases, linear regression had the highest predictive value with the area under the curves varying between 61.9 and 68.0, but the difference with machine learning models did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion Machine learning models can predict postoperative complications in upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery, but they do not outperform the current gold standard, linear regression

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of machine learning algorithms to predict trabeculectomy surgical outcomes. Preoperative systemic, demographic and ocular data from consecutive trabeculectomy surgeries from a single academic institution between January 2014 and December 2018 were incorporated into models using random forest, support vector machine, artificial neural networks and multivariable logistic regression. Mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy were used to evaluate the discrimination of each model to predict complete success of trabeculectomy surgery at 1 year. The top performing model was optimized using recursive feature selection and hyperparameter tuning. Calibration and net benefit of the final models were assessed. Among the 230 trabeculectomy surgeries performed on 184 patients, 104 (45.2%) were classified as complete success. Random forest was found to be the top performing model with an accuracy of 0.68 and AUC of 0.74 using 5-fold cross-validation to evaluate the final optimized model. These results provide evidence that machine learning models offer value in predicting trabeculectomy outcomes in patients with refractory glaucoma.

The prediction of surgical complications using artificial intelligence in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery: A systematic review. Surgery 2021; 171:1014-1021. [PMID: 34801265 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2021.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional statistics are based on a simple cause-and-effect principle. Postoperative complications, however, have a multifactorial and interrelated etiology. The application of artificial intelligence might be more accurate to predict postoperative outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine the current quality of studies describing the use of artificial intelligence in predicting complications in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. METHODS A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. Inclusion criteria were (1) empirical studies including patients undergoing (2) any type of gastrointestinal surgery, including hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery, whose (3) complications or mortality were predicted with the use of (4) any artificial intelligence system. Studies were screened for description of method of validation and testing in methodology. Outcome measurements were sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS From a total of 1,537 identified articles, 15 were included for the review. Among a large variety of algorithms used by the included studies, sensitivity was between 0.06 and 0.96, specificity was between 0.61 and 0.98, accuracy was between 0.78 and 0.95, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve varied between 0.50 and 0.96. CONCLUSION Artificial intelligence algorithms have the ability to accurately predict postoperative complications. Nevertheless, algorithms should be properly tested and validated, both internally and externally. Furthermore, a complete database and the absence of unsampled imbalanced data are absolute prerequisites for algorithms to predict accurately.
