Henning Nilius: MBD Check – Machine Learning Tool for Pre-Surgery Screening

Henning Nilius, Resident at Insel Gruppe, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in The Lancet Digital Health, adding:

“The core project of my PhD has now been published in The Lancet Digital Health.

MBD Check is an explainable, machine-learning-based screening tool to help decide whether a patient with a suspected mild bleeding disorder needs further haematology work-up before surgery.

We were able to externally validate at a second hospital, correctly identifying nearly 90% of patients with a mild bleeding disorder, and clinicians across surgery, anaesthesiology, and haematology rated its usability as excellent.

It is implemented as a simple Shiny web app and takes about a minute to complete.

You can read the paper and try the tool.

Thank you to my supervisors/co-referee (Michael Nagler and Christos Nakas) and our co-authors for making this possible.”
