Fig. 4From: Artificial neural networks improve and simplify intensive care mortality prognostication: a national cohort study of 217,289 first-time intensive care unit admissionsAge. Standardised mortality ratio (SMR) as a function of age for the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS 3) model (left panel) and the artificial neural network (ANN) model (right panel) for the test set (n = 36,214). The ANN model was superior in correcting for age as a prognostic factor (the single most important prognostic factor) as compared to SAPS 3. SMR is shown with a 95% confidence intervalBack to article page
