Dynamic frailty risk prediction in elderly hip replacement: a deep learning approach to personalized rehabilitation.
Article in BMC medical informatics and decision making, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOsteoarthritis and related degenerative conditions in the elderly often necessitate hip replacement surgery. Frailty is common in this population and significantly increases the risk of postoperative complications and delayed recovery. Accurate prediction of postoperative frailty risk and its temporal progression is essential for guiding personalized rehabilitation strategies.
methodsThis study prospectively included 647 patients aged 60 years or older who underwent hip replacement surgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between June 2021 and December 2023. Clinical, biochemical, demographic, and surgical data were collected at preoperative and postoperative stages. To mitigate sample size limitations, data augmentation was applied, expanding the dataset to approximately 2,500 cases for model training. Seven survival analysis models-Cox-Time, DeepHit, DeepSurv, MP-RSF, MP-AdaBoost, MP-LogitR-were employed to dynamically predict frailty risk over time. Model performance was evaluated using the C-index and Brier score. Model interpretability was assessed using SHAP analysis.
resultsDeepSurv demonstrated the highest predictive performance (C-index = 0.95, Brier score = 0.03), while MP-RSF performed less optimally (C-index = 0.77). The predicted frailty risk peaked around postoperative day 30 and declined by day 90. SHAP analysis identified low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), age, body mass index (BMI), and surgical indication as key contributors to frailty prediction across models.
conclusionThe findings of this study suggest that the DeepSurv model may more accurately predict the postoperative frailty trajectory than other models. Identifying high-risk periods and key clinical predictors enables clinicians to implement timely, individualized interventions that may reduce frailty risk and improve functional recovery.
