Abstract
BACKGROUND: Severe pneumonia has a poor prognosis and high mortality. Current severity scores such as Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE-II) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), have limited ability to help clinicians in classification and management decisions. The goal of this study was to analyse the clinical characteristics of severe pneumonia and develop a machine learning-based mortality-prediction model for patients with severe pneumonia.
