The 32 combo embeddings from combo model were grouped according to their organ system (grouping strategy 1) and their correlation matrix (grouping strategy 2 and grouping strategy 3). Please see Table S2 for the individual variables that comprise each combo variable. The numbers in front of each combo variable from 1 to 32 correspond to the numbers shown in Table S2. PCT, percent [%]; PT, prothrombin time; ALK, alkaline; PHOS, phosphorus; ABS, absolute; RBC, red blood cell; RDW, red cell diameter width; WBC, white blood cell; MCV, mean cell volume; MCH, mean cell hemoglobin.
