Predicting discharge destination and length of stay after open reduction internal fixation of distal femur fractures
We report a well-calibrated algorithm that accurately predicts nonhome discharge after distal femur ORIF. In addition, we report an ensemble survival algorithm predicting time to nonhome discharge. Accurate preoperative prediction of discharge destination may facilitate earlier discharge, reducing the costs and complications associated with prolonged hospitalization.
