Abstract
Surgical site infection (SSI) is a rare, but serious complication for patients undergoing total joint replacements. We aimed to create a machine learning algorithm that could accurately diagnose infection in the 199 patients that had undergone total knee or hip replacements from the MIMIC-III database.1 After data preprocessing, processing, and analysis, we determined that the dataset was too small to produce a meaningful machine learning algorithm. However, we recognize that this study serves as an important framework for studying larger datasets with more patients.
