An externally validated prognostic model for critically ill patients with traumatic brain injury.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who are admitted to the intensive care unit often exhibit critical conditions; thus, early prediction of in-hospital mortality is crucial. In this study, we aimed to develop a reliable and easily promotable model for predicting the in-hospital mortality of critically ill patients with TBI using easily accessible indicators and validate the model using external data.

Methods

Patient data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV 2.2 database were used as training and internal validation sets to establish and internally validate the prognostic model. Data from the Affiliated Dongyang Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were used for external validation. The Boruta algorithm was used for the initial feature s
