Table 4.

% of observed mortality patients correctly identified, F1 Score, sensitivity, and specificity performance of ASA; POSPOM; logistic regression model and DNN model with 87 features; logistic regression model and DNN model with reduced feature set and ASA; and logistic regression model and DNN model with reduced feature set and POSPOM at different thresholds. Results for best thresholds chosen by 1) highest % of observed mortality and 2) highest F1 score.
