Machine learning or traditional statistical methods for predictive modelling in perioperative medicine: A narrative review

J Clin AnesthPublished Narrative review

Authors' conclusion

This review highlights several studies which show that ML can enhance perioperative prediction models, although this is not universal, and performance for both methods remain context dependent.
