The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of machine learning algorithms to predict trabeculectomy surgical outcomes. Preoperative systemic, demographic and ocular data from consecutive trabeculectomy surgeries from a single academic institution between January 2014 and December 2018 were incorporated into models using random forest, support vector machine, artificial neural networks and multivariable logistic regression. Mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy were used to evaluate the discrimination of each model to predict complete success of trabeculectomy surgery at 1 year. The top performing model was optimized using recursive feature selection and hyperparameter tuning. Calibration and net benefit of the final models were assessed. Among the 230 trabeculectomy surgeries performed on 184 patients, 104 (45.2%) were classified as complete success. Random forest was found to be the top performing model with an accuracy of 0.68 and AUC of 0.74 using 5-fold cross-validation to evaluate the final optimized model. These results provide evidence that machine learning models offer value in predicting trabeculectomy outcomes in patients with refractory glaucoma.
