Empiric method for updating the patient's health. To update a model-generated patient's SOFA scores from one time to the next (from t - 0 to t + 1), the model searches for a patient with similar characteristics at t - 0. The model finds the 'similar' patient's t + 1 scores and uses them to represent the generated patient's t + 1 scores. CNS, central nervous system; SOFA, Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment.
