INTRODUCTION: We aimed to assess whether machine learning models are superior at predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to logistic regression (LR), a conventional prediction model. METHODS: Eligible studies were identified using PubMed and Embase. A total of 24 studies consisting of 84 prediction models met inclusion criteria. Independent samples t-test was performed to detect mean differences in area under the curve (AUC) between ML and LR models. One-way ANOVA and post-hoc t-tests were performed to ass…

The problem

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 24 studies (84 models) found machine learning predicted acute kidney injury no better than logistic regression, with average AUC of 0.736 versus 0.748.

What this doesn’t fix

Performance varied widely between studies and models, and most significant predictors were unique and study specific, so the pooled averages do not show how any single model would perform in a given hospital.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page

Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2770 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
