Automated Risk Stratification of Hip Osteoarthritis Development in Patients With Femoroacetabular Impingement Using an Unsupervised Clustering Algorithm: A Study From the Rochester Epidemiology Project

Background: Studies evaluating the natural history of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) are limited. Purpose: To stratify the risk of progression to osteoarthritis (OA) in patients with FAI using an unsupervised machine-learning algorithm, compare the characteristics of each subgroup, and validate the reproducibility of staging. Study Design: Cohort study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: A geographic database from the Rochester...
