Predicting Procedure Time in Pediatric Dental Rehabilitation Under General Anesthesia: The Role of Preoperative Factors and Age‐Based Models
Authors' conclusion
Developing an age-specific fitted equation based on site-specific operating room (OR) data improves procedure time prediction for pediatric dental rehabilitation under GA.

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Predictors of procedure duration
- Age strongest patient-specific predictor of procedure duration (R2 = 50.73%)
- p < 0.001
- Age-based equation improved prediction accuracy vs EPIC's analytics, age 3-5
- 42%
- Age-based equation improved prediction accuracy vs EPIC's analytics, age 13-18
- 114%
