摘要

A method for predicting a patient's outcome variable, such as a probability of mortality/recovery, includes accessing at least one of a plurality past patients' data fields including physiological and/or laboratory data, and a time of stay indicating how long each patient had been under care at the time. An outcome variable estimation algorithm is generated by data mining from a plurality of past patients' physiological and/or laboratory data, corresponding time of stay, and associated outcome variables. A current patient's outcome variable is determined from the current patient's physiological and/or laboratory data, the current time of stay, and the outcome variable estimation algorithm.
