Machine Learning Can Predict Mortality, Respiratory Failure in Rib Fracture Patients


Originally published by our sister publication Anesthesiology News

Machine learning–enabled risk models can accurately predict mortality and respiratory failure in patients admitted to the hospital with rib fractures, according to a study at Baylor College of Medicine, and presented at the 2025 Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma Annual Scientific Assembly.

“This work was motivated by my training experience at Ben Taub Hospital, triaging which rib fracture patients were high
