DeepBackRib: Deep learning to understand factors associated with readmissions after rib fractures

CONCLUSION We developed and internally validated a high-performing deep learning algorithm that elucidates factors associated with readmissions after rib fractures. Despite promising predictive performance, standalone deep learning algorithms are insufficient for clinical prediction tasks: a concerted effort is needed to ensure that clinical prediction algorithms remain explainable. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and Epidemiological; Level III.
