摘要

Tissue-engineered scaffolds incorporating oxygen-releasing biomaterials (ORBs) are widely investigated for alleviating hypoxia in chronic diabetic wounds. However, experimental determination of oxygen release kinetics is time-consuming and resource-intensive. In this study, machine-learning-based regression models were developed to predict the release of dissolved oxygen (%) from hydrogel scaffolds containing calcium peroxide (CPO). Multiple linear regression (MLR) was implemented using scaffold parameters—CPO concentration (mg/mL), swelling ratio (%), mass remaining (%), and compressive modulus (kPa)—as predictor variables. Experimental oxygen release data, consisting of 150 observations collected over 35 days, were used, with a 70:30 train–test split. The linear regression model achieved mean absolute errors of 1.58% and 1.76% for the training and testing datasets, respectively. Higher-order polynomial regression models did not yield satisfactory improvements in the coefficient of determination (R2) and exhibited signs of overfitting; therefore, linear and low-order polynomial models were retained for analysis. These findings demonstrate that linear regression provides a more robust and generalisable predictive framework for limited biomedical datasets. The proposed approach enables predictive optimisation of oxygen-releasing scaffolds and supports patient-specific scaffold design before in vitro and in vivo evaluation.
