Predictive model for abdominal liposuction volume in patients with obesity using machine learning in a longitudinal multi-center study in Korea.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning (ML)-based model for predicting liposuction volumes in patients with obesity. This study used longitudinal cohort data from 2018 to 2023 from five nationwide centers affiliated with 365MC Liposuction Hospital, the largest liposuction hospitals in Korea. Fifteen variables related to patient profiles were integrated and applied to various ML algorithms, including random forest, support vector, XGBoost, decision tree, and AdaBoost regressors. Performance evaluation employed mean absolute error (MAE), root mean square error (RMSE), and R-squared (R²) score. Feature importance and RMSE importance analyses were performed to compare the influence of each feature on prediction performance. A total of 9,856 were included in the
