Role of machine learning in management of degenerative spondylolisthesis: a systematic review

Conclusions: Although the proposed results may be misleading, the studies provided evidence to suggest that two-thirds of the patients with grade I spondylolisthesis were stable enough to tolerate decompression without fusion, but that one-third of the patients appeared to develop instability over time. This instability often led to reoperation for spinal fusion at the level of listhesis. It is possible to create a predictive machine learning algorithm that is calibrated and accurate to predict discharge placement. Level of Evidence: Level I.
