In one or more implementations, a method and system are disclosed in which at least one processor receives information associated with an upcoming arthroplasty and demographic factors of a patient in the upcoming arthroplasty. The processor(s) access i) procedure information representing arthroplasty previously performed for each of a plurality of patients and ii) implant information representing types and sizes of implants from a plurality of manufacturers. Further, the processor(s) determine respective unadjusted probabilities of each of a plurality of implant size options within a range of implant sizes, based on i) of at least one statistical model, ii) the accessed procedure information and the implant information, and iii) the demographic factors of the patient. Moreover, the processor(s) generate information representing some of the respective implant size options and unadjusted probabilities and transmits automatically, to at least one computing device associated with an inventory control system, the generated information.

Predicting implant size in arthroplasty using demographic variables

Generating a prediction for at least one implant size for use in arthroplasty is disclosed. Patient demographic factors are received and processed to generate at least one implant size prediction. The processing includes accessing procedure information representing joint replacement procedures previously performed for a plurality of patients and implant information representing types and sizes of implants from a plurality of manufacturers and determining, as a function of at least one statistical model and the accessed procedural information and implant information, unadjusted probabilities of implant size recommendations in a range of implant sizes. At least one processor is further configured for providing, in a graphical user interface operating on at least one user computing device, information representing the respective implant size recommendations and unadjusted probabilities. Further, the at least one processor is configured for receiving a selection of at least one of the respective implant size recommendations.
