Assessment of utilization efficiency using machine learning techniques: A study of heterogeneity in preoperative healthcare utilization among super-utilizers

ConclusionWhile previous studies have suggested that super-utilizers are a homogenous group of patients, the current study demonstrated a large degree of heterogeneity within super-utilizers. Variations in utilization patterns were associated with postoperative outcomes and subsequent health care costs.
