Using Laboratory Test Results at Hospital Admission to Predict Short-term Survival in Critically Ill Patients With Metastatic or Advanced Cancer Lee Cheng, MD, PhD, Alma Y. DeJesus, MSN, Maria A.

Fig. 1 Model discrimination in the development and validation cohorts. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values in both the development cohort (0.74; 95% CI 0.71–0.77) and the validation cohort (0.70; 95% CI 0.65–0.75) indicate that the multivariable model has a good capacity to predict the risk of 14-day mortality.

Fig. 2 Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival in the development cohort (n = 901) using laboratory test results stratified into quartiles. These survival curves indicated shorter overall survival with increasing age, lactate dehydrogenase levels, and white blood cell counts and decreasing albumin levels and platelet counts, which coincided with the findings of the multivariable analysis. In addition, higher blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels and lower hematocrit levels were associated with shorter overall survival.
