AI Model Screens Surgical Patients for Risky Alcohol Use More Accurately Than Standard Methods
- AI model analyzed medical records of over 53,000 surgical patients to identify signs of risky alcohol use
- Model found 3 times more patients at risk than diagnostic codes alone
- Matched assessments of human experts 87% of the time
- Could help clinicians identify patients needing intervention or support
- Researchers plan to make model publicly available but it would need training on individual facilities' records
