Abstract
Nonunion can be predicted in 18 fracture locations using parsimonious models with <10 patient demography-related risk factors. The model reduction approach used results in simplified models that have nearly the same AUC as the full model. Reduced algorithms can predict nonunion because risk factors important in the full models remain important in the reduced models. This prognostic inception cohort study provides Level I evidence.
