Implementation and prospective performance evaluation of an intraoperative duration prediction model using high throughput real-time data

BJA OpenPublished Prospective model implementation and performance evaluation study

Authors' conclusion

Prospective evaluation showed that model performance was preserved over a 10-month testing period.

Study context

Population
Surgical procedures with real-time anaesthesia record data
Participants
62,142 procedures
Exposure
Machine learning (ML) model vs bias-corrected scheduled duration
Outcome
Prediction of intraoperative duration, continuous ranked probability score
Follow-up
10 months
Methodological detailssilent deployment, real-time data
  • Silent deployment
  • Real-time data

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Continuous ranked probability score

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Performance drift over testing period · 10 months

Linear regression did not demonstrate performance drift
