a

Calculated using nested 10-fold cross-validation. All comparisons of the AUCs for each train and test pair between models (eg, trained on BIDMC, tested at UCSF for model 1 vs model 2: 0.867 vs 0.888) were statistically significant at P < .05.

b

Uses the highest and lowest of all laboratory values and vital signs.

c

Adds measures of distribution, variability, and trajectory of laboratory values and vital signs to models already using the highest and lowest values.

d

Adds NLP to models already using all observed values and measures of distribution, variability, and trajectory of laboratory values and vital signs.
