Design and application of an artificial intelligence-based venous thromboembolism prophylaxis system in orthopedics
Objective To improve the efficiency and accuracy of venous thromboembolism(VTE)assessment and reduce the occur-rence of VTE in orthopedic patients.Methods A total of 2,586 orthopedic patients were divided into a control group of 1,023 and an observation group of 1,563 chronologically.The control group was used paper-form assessment for possible risk of VTE and the results were manually input into the Hospital Information System,while the observation group received VTE risk management by using a self-designed AI-based system.Results The performance of the system used in the observation group was more efficient and accurate compared with earlier methods in the control group(both P<0.05).The observation group had significantly higher satis-faction of medical staff,whereas significantly lower incidence of VTE compared with the control group(both P<0.05).Conclusion The application of AI-based system for VTE prophylaxis in orthopedic patients can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of VTE assessment,reduce the occurrence of VTE,and enhance job satisfaction of medical staff.
