Machine learning models show promise in predicting postoperative complications for mandibular fractures. Optimizing these models could improve patient outcomes in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Medical Artificial Intelligence
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Postoperative complications present a significant challenge in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS), impacting patient recovery.
  • Accurate prediction of these complications is crucial for timely interventions and improved clinical outcomes.
  • Machine learning (ML) has shown potential in healthcare data analysis, but its application in OMFS is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of ML models, specifically random forest, for predicting postoperative complications in mandibular fractures.
  • To investigate the impact of demographic, clinical, and surgical data on prediction accuracy.
  • To lay the groundwork for data-driven approaches in OMFS.

  • Utilized demographic, clinical, and surgical data for mandibular fracture patients.
  • Applied random forest ML models for complication prediction.
  • Employed nested cross-validation and stratified predictions by confidence levels for accuracy assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved an initial classification accuracy of 69.32% using nested cross-validation.
    • Improved classification accuracy to 85.29% by stratifying predictions based on confidence.
    • Identified challenges related to dataset variability and model generalizability.

    Conclusions:

    • ML models, particularly random forest, show potential for predicting OMFS postoperative complications.
    • Confidence stratification enhances prediction accuracy but may limit applicability.
    • Further research requires larger datasets and advanced feature engineering for robust OMFS ML applications.
