Shown are area under receiver operating curves (AUROCs), Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit H statistics, and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for individual mortality prediction models (degrees of freedom = 8). A total of 1257 patients were included. The observed hospital mortality was 28.6%. APACHE, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; AUROC, area under receiver operating characteristic curve; CI, confidence interval; CMM, Cancer Mortality Model; MPM, Mortality Probability Model; SAPS, Simplified Acute Physiology Score; SD, standard deviation; SE, standard error; SMR, standardized mortality rate.
