Title: Statistical Approach for Prediction, Validation, and Creation of a Simple Score: An Application to a Neurocritical Care Study
Author(s): Jayawant Mandrekar*+
Companies: Mayo Clinic
Keywords: neurocritical care ; ROC analysis ; organ donation
Abstract:

Patients admitted to neurocritical care units often have devastating neurologic conditions and are likely candidates for organ donation after cardiac death. Given the uncertainty in the time to death, improving the prediction of time to death after WLSM based on pre-WLSM clinical factors is crucial to have a positive impact on the rates of organ donation. In the first part of the presentation, we will discuss how we arrived at a pool of factors associated with earlier time to death using a retrospective database. Next, we will discuss the validation of these identified factors done via a multicenter prospective study using logistic regression and ROC analysis.
