Patients were divided into short hospital stay of 0-1 days and OHS of >1 day cohorts. Machine learning models, including Random Forest, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Gradient Boosted Tree, Naïve Bayes, and Support Vector Machine, were trained and validated to predict OHS. The models' predictive capacities were compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve, calibration, and decision curve analysis.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Out of 5811 patients analyzed, 926 (15.9%) were discharged on the same day. The ANN model demonstrated the highest area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (0.811), indicating superior predictive ability. Important variables influencing OHS predictions included operative time, body mass index, functional status, and patient demographics, such as age, race, and home support. Machine learning models showed better predictive performance than multivariate logistic regression.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Machine learning models, particularly the ANN model, outperform traditional regression methods in predicting post-TSA admission, highlighting their utility in optimizing patient selection for outpatient surgery. These models identify important variables associated with increased risk of OHS, aiding in preoperative planning and patient counseling. Integrating machine learning into clinical practice may enhance surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction while reducing health-care costs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39885,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Arthroplasty","volume":"34 4","pages":"Pages 943-952"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142748286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bariatric surgery (BS) is an effective tool commonly utilized for the reduction of body mass index. However, the impact of BS on complications in total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) remains inadequately investigated. This study examines the 5-year risk of revision following TSA in patients with a history of BS compared to matched cohorts without history of BS.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>Utilizing the PearlDiver Mariner database, a retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on over 157 million U.S. patients from January 2010 to October 2021. Inclusion criteria identified patients undergoing primary TSA with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Propensity-score matching was employed to control for covariates, comparing BS patients with a matched control and a matched class III obesity control without history of BS. Demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes, including 5-year cumulative incidence of revision were analyzed.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The 5-year cumulative incidence of all-cause revision within the BS group was found to be 4.6%. While this represented a higher risk than that of the general population (hazard ratio 1.70; 95% confidence interval 1.21-2.39), there was no significant difference when compared to controls with class III obesity. The BS cohort had higher risk of revision secondary to dislocation/subluxation and rotator cuff tear than in the general population. When compared to the class III obesity cohort, only the risk of revision due to rotator cuff tear was found to be higher.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Individuals with a history of BS showed a higher risk of revision than a cohort without history of BS and an equivalent risk of revision compared to a cohort of class III obesity controls after undergoing TSA. Though obesity is an important risk factor for complications after TSA, BS might not be an effective tool for preoperative risk optimization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":39885,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Arthroplasty","volume":"34 4","pages":"Pages 827-831"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142748292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
