Abstract
Purpose: The purpose is to utilize an artificial neural network (ANN) model to determine the most important variables in predicting mortality following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: Patients that underwent primary THA were included from a national database. Demographic, preoperative, and intraoperative variables were analyzed based on their contribution to 30-day mortality with the use of an ANN model. Results: The five most important factors in predicting mortality following THA were preoperative international normalized ratio, age, body mass index, operative time, and preoperative hematocrit. Conclusion: ANN modeling represents a novel approach to determining perioperative factors that predict mortality following THA.
