Artificial intelligence-based prediction model for surgical site infection in metastatic spinal disease: a multicenter development and validation study

This study develops and validates an AI tool with strong predictive performance in identifying patients at a high risk for SSI. By facilitating personalized treatment based on risk classification, this advancement has the potential to significantly enhance surgical care for patients with metastatic spinal disease. Future research should focus on integrating this predictive tool into clinical practice and exploring its applicability across diverse patient populations.
