Journal Reviewers' Workshop
Machine Learning for the Experienced Orthopaedic Reviewer: It May Not Be as Confusing as You Think
This presentation is a recorded capture from Reviewer Workshop on July 13, 2023 in Washington, DC at the AOSSM Annual Meeting.
David C. Landy, MD, PhD
Associate Editor for Clinical Trials and Statistics, American Journal of Sports Medicine
Learning objectives:
1. Participants will gain an appreciation for the distinction between inference and prediction and how these concepts are related to the selection of analytic methods and presentation of results.
2. Participants will review the basics of regression and understand how newer machine learning algorithms are both similar and dissimilar from these more familiar techniques.
3. Participants will consider how the review of research presenting the results of machine learning algorithms requires continued consideration of the surrounding clinical context.
ACCREDITATION STATEMENT The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
AMA CREDIT DESIGNATION STATEMENT The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine designates this enduring material for a maximum of 0.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
CLAIMING CREDIT In order to obtain AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ participants must complete the activity and evaluation. Please note that this is an online-only activity. Participants must complete the activity and evaluation online. No hard copy submissions will be accepted.
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT In accordance with the guidelines of the ACCME, it is the policy of the AOSSM that faculty and planners disclose to the learners all financial relationships during the past twelve months with any commercial interest (any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods and services consumed by, or used on, patients).
