Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

With increasing life expectancy, the elderly population is growing. Hip fractures significantly increase morbidity and mortality, particularly within the first year, among elderly patients. Managing anesthesia in these elderly patients, who often have multiple comorbidities, is challenging. Identifying perioperative factors that can reduce mortality will benefit the perioperative management of these patients.

The aim of this study is to develop and validate a machine learning based model to predict the length of hospital stay for hip fracture patients after PACU. Different machine learning algorithms such as R language Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Artificial Neural Networks and Logistic Regression will be used in the study and the best performing model will be determined. In addition, the prediction mechanism of the model will be examined with SHAP analysis and its applicability in clinical decision processes will be evaluated. Thus, by predicting the length of hospital stay, clinicians will be enabled to manage patient care processes more effectively.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

> 7 days LOS

This cohort includes patients whose postoperative hospital length of stay exceeded 7 days. The group was formed based on the median LOS determined in the overall study population. No intervention was administered. The group is used for training and evaluating a machine learning model aimed at predicting prolonged hospitalization (\>7 days) based on preoperative and intraoperative clinical features.

No interventions assigned to this group

<= 7 days LOS

This cohort includes patients whose postoperative hospital length of stay was 7 days or less. The grouping was based on the median LOS observed in the total sample to ensure balanced classification for the machine learning model. No intervention was administered. Clinical data were used to train and test an AI algorithm for hospital LOS prediction.
