Figure 2. Recursive Partitioning Model for Impending Death in 3 Days.

Figure 2

The main model (exclude bottom level) is based on 2 variables (drooping of nasolabial fold and palliative performance scale) and has 2 levels and 4 leaves. The diagnostic accuracy was 81%. Inclusion of the variable “number of late signs” resulted in a 6-leaf model that included 3 variables and 3 levels. The diagnostic accuracy was 82%. For each node, the number of patients that fulfill the criteria is shown along with the 3-day mortality rate (in parentheses).
