New AI tool accurately predicts how patients would fare after surgeries
An artificial intelligence (AI) tool developed by investigators at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai and colleagues at two other institutions accurately predicted how patients would fare after surgeries and procedures. The results, published in The Lancet Digital Health, include data from patients from three healthcare systems: Cedars-Sinai, Stanford University and Columbia University. All patients in the study underwent a surgical procedure, including open heart surgery, other major surgeries, and minimally invasive procedures involving a catheter or endoscope. Investigators trained an AI model on pre-operative electrocardiograms, discovering a new use for the 130-year-old test. Invented in the late-1800s, an electrocardiogram is [...]
