Artificial Intelligence Can Predict Complications Better than Traditional Statistical Testing Following Posterior Cervical Fusion

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Current clinical research relies on statistical models to identify independent risk factors of postoperative complications. However, complex interplay between risk factors is rarely accounted for, which can lead to inaccurate patient morbidity and mortality. Neural network is a machine learning classification system inspired by the human brain. Each network contains a large cluster of neurons which collectively but uniquely weigh the importance of input variables. Optimization of each individual neuron allows for the system to "learn" through repetitive epochs and minimizes error.
