Predicting discharge placement after elective surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis using machine learning methods

ConclusionsA machine learning algorithm is able to predict discharge placement after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis with both good discrimination and calibration. Implementing this type of algorithm in clinical practice could avert risks associated with delayed discharge and lower costs.Graphical abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
