Abstract
Clinical decision making is susceptible to biases and can be improved with the application
of predictive models and decision support systems (DSS). The purpose of this study
was to develop a predictive risk stratification model and DSS that could accurately
predict whether a patient was likely to be of high- or low-acuity discharge disposition
(DD) status subsequent to DBS surgery. Data were collected for 135 DBS patients by
reviewing medical records. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to develop
the predictive algorithm. The two significant predictive models showed good fit and
were calibrated by using AUROC curve analysis. The model predicting DD in all patients
(n = 135) yielded a predictive accuracy of 91.9% (AUROC = 0.825, p < .001). The model
predicting DD in Parkinson’s Disease patients (n = 91) yielded a predictive accuracy
of 89.0% (AUROC = 0.853, p < .001). Age was a significant predictor of DD across all
patients (OR = 1.11, p < .05) and BMI was a significant predictor of DD amongst Parkinson’s
Disease patients (OR = 1.16, p < .05). It is possible to accurately predict the DD
of DBS patients using routinely collected preoperative variables. The predictive algorithms
were applied in the form of a model-driven DSS to assist in improving clinical decision
making and patient safety.
