Rule-Based Models for Risk Estimation and Analysis of In-hospital Mortality in Emergency and Critical Care
We propose a novel method that uses associative classification and odds ratios to predict in-hospital mortality in emergency and critical care. Manual mortality risk scores have previously been used to assess the care needed for each patient and their need for palliative measures. Automated approach...

We propose a novel method that uses associative classification and odds ratios to predict in-hospital mortality in emergency and critical care. Manual mortality risk scores have previously been used to assess the care needed for each patient and their need for palliative measures. Automated approaches allow providers to get a quick and objective estimation based on electronic health records. We use association rule mining to find relevant patterns in the dataset. The odds ratio is used instead of classical association rule mining metrics as a quality measure to analyze association instead of frequency. The resulting measures are used to estimate the in-hospital mortality risk. We compare two prediction models: one minimal model with socio-demographic factors that are available at the time of admission and can be provided by the patients themselves, namely gender, ethnicity, type of insurance, language, and marital status, and a full model that additionally includes clinical information like diagnoses, medication, and procedures. The method was tested and validated on MIMIC-IV, a publicly available clinical dataset. The minimal prediction model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value of 0.69, while the full prediction model achieved a value of 0.98. The models serve different purposes. The minimal model can be used as a first risk assessment based on patient-reported information. The full model expands on this and provides an updated risk assessment each time a new variable occurs in the clinical case. In addition, the rules in the models allow us to analyze the dataset based on data-backed rules.
