Retrospective cohort. ⋯ The deep neural network may be used to predict complications for clinical applications after multicenter validation. The results suggest limited added knowledge exists in interactions between the input variables used for this task. Future work should identify novel variables to increase predictive power.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
The Utility of Transcranial Stimulated Motor-evoked Potential Alerts in Cervical Spine Surgery Varies Based on Preoperative Motor Status.
A prospective multicenter observational study. ⋯ The utility of Tc-MEP in patients with a preoperative severe motor status was enhanced, even in those without high-risk spine surgery. Regardless of the motor status, appropriate interventions following Tc-MEP alerts may prevent postoperative paralysis.
