Abstract
This study aims to develop optimal predictive models for perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) in hip arthroplasty patients, thereby advancing clinical practice. Data from all hip arthroplasty patients in the MIMIC-IV database were utilized to predict PND. With 62 variables, we applied multiple logistic regression, artificial neural network (ANN), Naive Bayes, support vector machine, and decision tree (XgBoost) algorithms to forecast PND. Feature analysis, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and calibration curve plotting, and sensitivity, specificity, and F-measure β = 1 (F1-score) assessments were conducted on both training and validation sets for classifying models' effectiveness. Brier score and Index of prediction accuracy (IPA) were employed to compare prediction capabilities in both sets. Among 3,292 hip arthroplasty patients in the MIMIC database, 331 developed PND. Five models using different algorithms were constructed. After thorough comparison and validation, the ANN model emerged as the most effective model. Performance metrics on the training set for the ANN model were: ROC: 0.954, Accuracy: 0.938, Precision: 0.758, F1-score: 0.657, Brier Score: 0.048, IPA: 90.8%. On the validation set, the ANN model performed as follows: ROC: 0.857, Accuracy: 0.903, Precision: 0.539, F1-score: 0.432, Brier Score: 0.071, IPA: 71.4%. An online visualization tool was developed ( https://xyyy.pythonanywhere.com/ ).
