Deep Learning Artificial Intelligence to Predict the Need for Tracheostomy in Patients of Deep Neck Infection Based on Clinical and Computed Tomography Findings—Preliminary Data and a Pilot Study

<b>Background:</b> Deep neck infection (DNI) can lead to airway obstruction. Rather than intubation, some patients need tracheostomy to secure the airway. However, no study has used deep learning (DL) artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the need for tracheostomy in DNI patients. Thus...
