PSU20 Predicting Readmissions for Elective Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in Adults using Machine Learning Algorithms

Abstract

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is focusing on readmission within 30-days after total joint replacements for cost and quality considerations. This study evaluated machine learning (ML) algorithms for predicting the risk of 30-day readmission following hip and knee arthroplasty procedures.
