| Core Tip |
Accurate prediction of surgical duration is essential for efficient operating room (OR) scheduling. This study found that both overestimation and underestimation of orthopedic surgery times are common, with surgery times being underestimated for nearly half of all procedures. Patient comorbidities were identified as a key factor influencing operative duration, highlighting the need for individualized, case-based time estimation to improve OR efficiency and surgical planning. |
