چکیده

Classification models (“machine learners” or “learners”) were developed using machine learning techniques to predict mortality at discharge from an intensive care unit (ICU) and evaluated based on a large training data set from a single ICU. The best models were tested on data on subsequent patient admissions. Excellent model performance (AUCROC (area under the receiver operating curve) =0.896 on a test set), possibly superior to a widely used existing model based on conventional logistic regression models was obtained, with fewer perpatient data than that model.
