This study aimed to develop and retrospectively assess the NEURODECANN Clinical Score to predict decannulation success. A retrospective cohort of patients with a tracheostomy (n = 117) was analyzed, distinguishing those who achieved decannulation from those who did not. Logistic regression and Random Forest analysis identified key predictors: level of consciousness, diagnosis, blue dye test, amount of secretions, speaking valve use, secretion management, dysphagia, maximum inspiratory pressure, and cough. Model performance was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity.
