Machine Learning Models for Predicting Disability and Pain Following Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Lumber disc herniation surgery can reduce pain and disability. However, a sizable minority of individuals experience minimal benefit, necessitating the development of accurate prediction models.

Objective

To develop and validate prediction models for disability and pain 12 months after lumbar disc herniation surgery.

Design, setting, and participants

A prospective, multicenter, registry-based prognostic study was conducted on a cohort of individuals undergoing lumbar disc herniation surgery from January 1, 2007, to May 31, 2021. Patients in the Norwegian Registry for Spine Surgery from all public and private hospitals in Norway performing spine surgery were included. Data analysis was performed from January to June 2023.
