Preoperative evaluation is essential for identifying patient-related risks before elective surgery and for planning safe anesthesia management. Traditionally, this evaluation is performed by anesthesiologists based on clinical history, physical examination, comorbidities, and laboratory findings.
This observational study aims to compare the clinical performance of a machine learning-based artificial intelligence system with anesthesiologist assessment during preoperative patient evaluation. The artificial intelligence system independently analyzes patient data and generates risk assessments, which are then compared with evaluations performed by anesthesiologists.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the level of agreement between the artificial intelligence system and anesthesiologists in preoperative risk assessment. Secondary objectives include evaluating the accuracy and consistency of the artificial intelligence system and exploring its potential role as a decision-support tool in preoperative clinical practice.
The findings of this study may contribute to understanding the potential benefits and limitations of artificial intelligence-assisted decision making in preoperative evaluation
