Algorithm to Predict the Outcome of Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm: A Data-Mining Analysis Using a Decision Tree

摘要

OBJECTIVE: Although microvascular decompression (MVD) is the primary treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS), the postoperative course is variable. This study aimed to develop a prediction model of the outcome of MVD in patients with HFS by investigating influential factors.
