Application of Machine Learning in Developing Decision-Making Support Models for Decompressed Vertebroplasty

Abstract

Background: The common treatment methods for vertebral compression fractures with osteoporosis are vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, and the result of the operation may be related to the value of various measurement data during the operation. Material and Method: This study mainly uses machine learning algorithms, including Bayesian networks, neural networks, and discriminant analysis, to predict the effects of different decompression vertebroplasty methods on preoperative symptoms and changes in vital signs and oxygen saturation in intraoperative measurement data. Result: The neural network shows better analysis results, and the area under the curve is >0.7. In general, important determinants of surgery include numbness and immobility of the lower limbs before surgery. Conclusion: In the future, this association model can be used to assist in decision making regarding surgical methods. The results show that different surgical methods are related to abnormal vital signs and may affect the length of hospital stay.
