Abstract
To identify the best method for the prediction of postoperative mortality in individual abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery (AAA) patients by comparing statistical modelling with artificial neural networks' (ANN) and clinicians' estimates. An observational multicenter study was conducted of prospectively collected postoperative Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II data for a 9-year period from 24 intensive care units (ICU) in the Thames region of the United Kingdom. The study cohort consisted of 1205 elective and 546 emergency AAA patients. Four independent physiologic variables-age, acute physiology score, emergency operation, and chronic health evaluation-were used to develop multiple regression and ANN models to predict in-hospital mortality. The models were developed on 75% of the patient population and their validity tested on the remaining 25%. The results from these two models were compared with the observed outcome and clinicians' estimates by using measures of calibration, discrimination, and subgroup analysis. Observed in-hospital mortality for elective surgery was 9.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.7% to 11.1%) and for emergency surgery, 46.7% (95% CI, 42.5 to 51.0%). The ANN and the statistical models ...Continue Reading
