Current risk assessments often rely on subjective judgment or simple tools, whereas machine learning offers potential for real-time evaluation, though research is limited and typically uses single-algorithm models.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n The aims of this study were to identify risk factors for delayed extubation after general anesthesia in the sample and to construct a risk prediction model for delayed extubation in this population.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n Data from 4779 patients admitted to the postanesthesia care unit between September 2023 and May 2024 were used to develop prediction models for delayed extubation using k-nearest neighbor, decision tree, extreme gradient boosting, random forest, a light gradient boosting machine, and an artificial neural network. Model performance was assessed by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy,\n F<\/jats:italic>\n 1<\/jats:sub>\n -score, and Brier score. Calibration performance was evaluated using calibration curves generated with 100-bin quantile calibration and Loess smoothing to provide bias-corrected and smoothed visual assessment. Additionally, the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was performed to quantitatively evaluate calibration, with\n P<\/jats:italic>\n values >.05 indicating good calibration.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Among the 6 models evaluated, the extreme gradient boosting model demonstrated the best performance, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.750 (95% CI 0.703\u20100.796), a sensitivity of 0.734 (95% CI 0.635\u20100.827), and a specificity of 0.647 (95% CI 0.623\u20100.673). The model calibration was acceptable, with a Brier score of 0.0505 and a nonsignificant Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (\u03c7\u00b2\n 6<\/jats:sub>\n =7.3;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.287), indicating good calibration. Shapley additive explanations were used to rank feature importance.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n These machine learning models enable early identification of delayed extubation risk, supporting personalized clinical decisions and optimizing postanesthesia care unit resource allocation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/72602","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]],"date-time":"2025-11-11T21:12:19Z","timestamp":1762895539000},"page":"e72602-e72602","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Predicting Delayed Extubation After General Anesthesia in Postanesthesia Care Unit Patients Using Machine Learning: Model Development Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6702-4483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianwei","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5932-5761","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaoman","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-7070-2335","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liman","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0379-8052","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Huanfan","family":"Ji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3086-4719","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingcong","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2515-5561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tingkang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-1832-5550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-7872-4452","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ziqi","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5731-8832","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhongqi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1600-0358","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ning","family":"Liufu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"556","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2044.2010.06331.x","article-title":"Litigation related to airway and respiratory complications of anaesthesia: an analysis of claims against the NHS in England 1995-2007","volume":"65","author":"Cook","journal-title":"Anaesthesia"},{"issue":"5","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"617","DOI":"10.1093\/bja\/aer058","article-title":"Major complications of airway management in the UK: results of the Fourth National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Difficult Airway Society.
