Figure 2From: Multi-scale symbolic entropy analysis provides prognostic prediction in patients receiving extracorporeal life supportQuantification of multiscale symbolic entropy (MSsE): summation of the entropy over different scales can quantify the complexity over certain timescales. However, typical profile of MSsE in extracorporeal life support patients showed a crossover phenomenon around scale 5. Three parameters of the MSsE were assessed: (1) the linear-fitted slope between scales 1 to 5; (2) complexity between intermediate scales (Area 6-20); and (3) the overall complexity (Area 6-40).Back to article page
