Corrected incidences of co-morbidities - a statistical approach for risk-assessment in anesthesia using an AIMS.
In anesthesia and intensive care logistic regression analysis are often used to generate predictive models for risk assessment. Strictly seen only independent variables should be represented in such prognostic models. Using anesthesia-information-management-systems a lot of (depending) information is stored in a database during the preoperative ward round. The objective of this study was to evaluate a statistical algorithm to process the different dependent variables without losing the information of each variable on patient's conditions. ⋯ Due to reduced calibration, the clinical use of the prediction model is limited.
