The eLOS was defined as &gt;9 days via classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. Predictors included demographics (age, BMI), comorbidities (osteoporosis, hypertension), surgical parameters, and hospitalization costs. Seven ML models (XGBoost, Lasso Regression, CNN, etc.) were trained using stratified 70:30 splits, SMOTE balancing, and Bayesian hyperparameter tuning.
