Standard addition

A machine learning model for in-hospital mortality prediction in patients with sepsis-related myocardial injury.

An eight-variable prediction model moderately identifies which sepsis patients face highest death risk, aiding clinical decision-making.

This PubMed-indexed study examined sepsis-related myocardial injury (SRMI) is associated with high mortality, but the transportability of prediction models across heterogeneous cohorts remains uncertain. The abstract reports in two external cohorts, an 8-variable random forest model showed moderate discrimination for mortality prediction in SRMI.
