ReviewArtificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Patient Blood Management: A Scoping Review.
Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are widely used in many different fields of modern medicine. This narrative review gives, in the first part, a brief overview of the methods of ML and AI used in patient blood management (PBM) and, in the second part, aims at describing which fields have been analyzed using these methods so far. ⋯ The topics that have been investigated most often were the prediction of transfusion (30%), bleeding (28%), and laboratory studies (15%). Although in the last 3 years a constantly increasing number of questions of ML in PBM have been investigated, there is a vast scientific potential for further application of ML and AI in other fields of PBM.
