Multicenter StudyTransfusion after total knee arthroplasty can be predicted using the machine learning algorithm.
A blood transfusion after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is associated with an increase in complication and infection rates. However, no studies have been conducted to predict transfusion after TKA using a machine learning algorithm. The purpose of this study was to identify informative preoperative variables to create a machine learning model, and to provide a web-based transfusion risk-assessment system for clinical use. ⋯ Diagnostic level II.

Multicenter Study Observational StudyClinical results and short-term survivorship of robotic-arm-assisted medial and lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
The aim of this multicentre, retrospective, observational study was to determine the incidence of revision and clinical results of a large cohort of robotic-arm-assisted medial and lateral UKAs at short-term follow-up. It was hypothesized that patients who receive robotic-arm-assisted UKA will have high survivorship rates and satisfactory clinical results. ⋯ Retrospective cohort study, Level IV.
