Predictive modelling of survival and length of stay in critically ill patients using sequential organ failure scores

作者:

Highlights:

• A dataset of 14,480 critically ill patients within the ICU was collected.

• Machine learning models are constructed to predict patient length of stay and mortality.

• Prediction accuracy was improved by using a two-by-two classification grid.

• Probabilistic model outputs can improve interpretation by physicians.

• Moving data window shows potential for real-time ICU patient analysis.
