Accurate patient mortality prediction enables effective risk stratification, leading to personalized treatment plans and improved patient outcomes.
This study evaluates machine learning models for all-cause in-hospital mortality prediction using the MIMIC-III database, employing a comprehensive feature engineering approach.
The Random Forest model achieved the highest performance with an AUC of 0.94, significantly outperforming other machine learning and deep learning approaches.
The findings highlight the importance of careful feature engineering for accurate mortality prediction and propose future directions, including enhancing model robustness and tailoring prediction models for specific diseases.
