Performance of electronic medical record tool in predicting 6-month mortality in hospitalized patients with cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A systematic tool to identify hospitalized patients with high mortality risk may be beneficial for targeting palliative care to those in greatest need.

Objective

Evaluate the performance of the End-of-life Index (EOLI; Epic Systems Corporation) in identifying patients at the highest 6-month mortality risk among hospitalized patients with cancer.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective study of adults with cancer admitted to oncology services in a 959-bed hospital between July 1 and December 31, 2023. We evaluated EOLI score performance in determining mortality risk using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The primary outcome was 6-month mortality for patients with an EOLI score above and below the optimal threshold value. Seconda
