Abstract:
1. Computer storage media, not being a transitory signal per se, storing computer-useable instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a method for determining a probability of acute deterioration for a particular patient, the method comprising: receiving patient information comprising a plurality physiological measurements for a patient in anatomically challenged and unchallenged positions; conditioning the patient information to create conditioned patient information; and based on the conditioned patient information, determining a statistical probability of acute deterioration for the patient, wherein determining the statistical probability of acute deterioration involves determining a copula based on the conditioned patient information and determining that the copula is an extreme-value copula, wherein determining that the copula is an extreme-value copula involves comparing the determined copula to a rank-based nonparametric estimator of the patient's copula.
