Brief Summary:
The development of a machine learning algorithm that predicts American Society of Anesthesiologist-Physical Status (ASA-PS) based on preoperative variables would not only improve clinical decision-making in patient risk stratification but also offer a more reliable tool for administrative and regulatory uses. Therefore, the development of such a machine learning tool presents a significant opportunity to advance both the science and practice of perioperative care. Incorporating medication use into the algorithm could further enhance its predictive power, as it is closely linked to systemic disease. This addition could help refine the ASA-PS classification, making it an even more valuable tool in the clinical setting.
Detailed Description:
The American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) classification system is a widely used tool for assessing surgical fitness and other clinical contexts. However, its inherent subjectivity and heavy reliance on clinician judgment can lead to inconsistencies in patient risk stratification, a critical component of perioperative care. Furthermore, the ASA-PS system has been adopted for various administrative and regulatory purposes beyond its original intent, such as quality assessment by the Dutch Health and Youth Care Inspectorate (IGJ), compensation decisions by private payers in the USA, patient triage, and determining suitability for certain types of surgery.
Given the broad and critical applications of the ASA-PS system, enhancing its precision and objectivity is of paramount importance. One way to achieve this is through the development of a machine learning algorithm that predicts ASA-PS based on preoperative variables. Anesthesiologists base the ASA-PS score on the presence of systemic diseases, which can be inferred from medication use. By leveraging data such as Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) codes, BMI, sex, age, routinely collected preoperative health data, and medication use, this algorithm could provide a more consistent and objective measure of ASA-PS.
This would not only improve clinical decision-making in patient risk stratification but also offer a more reliable tool for administrative and regulatory uses. Therefore, the development of such a machine learning tool presents a significant opportunity to advance both the science and practice of perioperative care. Incorporating medication use into the algorithm could further enhance its predictive power, as it is closely linked to systemic disease. This addition could help refine the ASA-PS classification, making it an even more valuable tool in the clinical setting.
