Journal ArticleDOI

Machine Learning and Neurosurgical Outcome Prediction: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: Based on the specific prediction task evaluated and the type of input features included, ML models predicted outcomes after neurosurgery with a median accuracy and area under the receiver operating curve of 94.5% and 0.83, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malpractice Liability and Defensive Medicine: A National Survey of Neurosurgeons

TL;DR: Concerns and perceptions about medical liability lead practitioners to practice defensive medicine, and diagnostic testing, consultations and imaging studies are ordered to satisfy a perceived legal risk, resulting in higher healthcare expenditures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Natural and Artificial Intelligence in Neurosurgery: A Systematic Review.

TL;DR: It is concluded that ML models have the potential to augment the decision‐making capacity of clinicians in neurosurgical applications; however, significant hurdles remain associated with creating, validating, and deploying ML models in the clinical setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurological toxicities associated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy.

TL;DR: Focal neurological deficits are frequently observed after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy and are associated with regional EEG abnormalities, FDG-PET hypometabolism, and elevated velocities on transcranial Doppler ultrasound.
Journal ArticleDOI

Length of hospital stay after craniotomy for tumor: a National Surgical Quality Improvement Program analysis.

TL;DR: In this NSQIP analysis that evaluated patients who underwent craniotomy for tumor, much of the variance in hospital stay was attributable to baseline patient characteristics, suggesting length of stay may be an imperfect proxy for quality.
