The value of machine learning technology and artificial intelligence to enhance patient safety in spine surgery: a review

Patient Saf Surg. 2024 Mar 25;18(1):11. doi: 10.1186/s13037-024-00393-0.ABSTRACTMachine learning algorithms have the potential to significantly improve patient safety in spine surgeries by providing healthcare professionals with valuable insights and predictive analytics. These algorithms can analyze preoperative data, such as patient demographics, medical history, and imaging studies, to identify potential risk factors and predict postoperative complications. By leveraging machine learning, surgeons can make more informed decisions, personalize treatment plans, and optimize surgical techniques to minimize risks and enhance patient outcomes. Moreover, by harnessing the power of machine learning, healthcare providers can make data-driven decisions, personalize treatment plans, and optimize surgical interventions, ultimately enhancing the quality of care in spine surgery. The findings highlight the potential of integrating artificial intelligence in healthcare settings to mitigate risks and enhance patient safety in surgical practices. The integration of machine learning holds immense potential for enhancing patient safety in spine surgeries. By leveraging advanced algorithms and predictive analytics, healthcare providers can optimize surgical decision-making, mitigate risks, and personalize treatment strategies to improve outcomes and ensure the highest standard of care for patients undergoing spine procedures. As technology continues to evolve, the future of spine surgery lie...
