Routine ICU Surveillance after Brain Tumor Surgery: Patient Selection Using Machine Learning.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Routine postoperative ICU admission following brain tumor surgery may not benefit selected patients. The objective of this study was to develop a risk prediction instrument for early (within 24 h) postoperative adverse events using machine learning techniques. Methods: Retrospective cohort of 1000 consecutive adult patients undergoing elective brain tumor resection. Nine events/interventions (CPR, reintubation, return to OR, mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, impaired consciousness, intracranial hypertension, swallowing disorders, and death) were chosen as target variables. Potential prognostic features (n = 27) from five categories were chosen and a gradient boosting algorithm (XGBoost) was trained and cross-validated in a 5 × 5 fashion. Prog
