Mortality Prediction Model
Mortality prediction models aim to accurately forecast the likelihood of death, primarily focusing on improving prediction accuracy and interpretability across diverse populations and healthcare settings. Current research emphasizes hybrid approaches combining statistical methods (like exponential smoothing) with deep learning architectures (e.g., recurrent neural networks, convolutional networks, and transformers), often incorporating sparse attention mechanisms to enhance model transparency and efficiency. These advancements hold significant promise for improving clinical decision-making, resource allocation, and personalized treatment strategies in critical care and other areas of medicine, particularly by enabling more reliable risk stratification and fairer algorithmic applications.
