Why the study?
Does an artificial intelligence neural network improve the prediction of postoperative cardiac events compared to logistic regression in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Population
360 patients referred for preoperative cardiac risk assessment before major noncardiac surgery.
Comparison
Neural network predictive model using 14 input… vs Backward stepwise logistic regression…
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
postoperative period

May offer a more specific preoperative risk tool; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Does an artificial intelligence neural network improve the prediction of postoperative cardiac events compared to logistic regression in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery?
Artificial intelligence using neural networks may provide a more specific alternative to conventional logistic regression for preoperative cardiac risk assessment.
Lette et al. (1994) studied this question.
