APPENDIX 1: PREDICTORS INCLUDED IN DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSES AND MODELING

The figure on page 5 shows the predictors available to us. The figure does not include some predictors that are commonly available (e.g., age and sex). As noted in the text, because we cannot capture diagnosis reliably in real time, we did not include diagnoses as predictors. Going from top to bottom and left to right, predictors were as follows:

LAPS2 (Laboratory Acute Physiology Score, version 2)

The LAPS2, described in citation 19, is based on 15 laboratory tests, vital signs (temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure), pulse oximetry, neurological status as documented in nursing flow sheets, and interaction terms (e.g., the shock index). The “look back” period for LAPS2 is 72 hours from the time of rooming in at the patients’ first hospital unit. Additional information on this predictor can be obtained from the principal investigator.

The figure below shows the distribution of scores in the original paper describing LAPS2, which was based on 248,383 patients.

COPS2 (COmorbidity Point Score, version 2)

Every month, the KPNC Decision Support Department scans data from outpatient and inpatient encounters from the entire KPNC membership. Using the ICD codes from these encounters, the MIA department assigns these codes to 70 possible Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs) using their inpatient and outpatient utilization during the preceding 12 month period. A given patient may have multiple HCC assignments. The ICD code categories used for these HCCs are those used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The COPS2 employs 45 of these HCCs to assign a point score.

The figure below shows the distribution of scores in the original paper describing COPS2, which was based on 248,383 patients (citation 19).

HOSPITALIZATION AND/OR ED VISIT

We scanned each patient’s records in KPNC hospitalization and emergency department databases (these are now part of the Epic inpatient record). Out of plan use was also captured for these predictors.

Escobar et al. Non-elective rehospitalizations MS

LENGTH OF STAY

For hospitalizations included in the predictive model, the T0 was time of rooming in, and the TEND was the date/time stamp from the last linked hospital stay (as noted in the text, we concatenated stays of patients who experienced inter-hospital transport). Patients who experienced a non-KPNC hospital stay as part of a hospitalization episode are included (length of stay was bridged across stays).

OR (operating room stay)

KPNC bed history databases capture when patients entered or left the operating room. For the purposes of our analyses, we categorized patients as having had 0, 1, or 2+ operating room stays.

ICU (admission to Intensive Care Unit)

KPNC bed history databases capture when patients entered or left the ICU; it is also possible to determine whether a patient experienced assisted ventilation (V) or received continuous infusions of pressor agents (P). All KPNC patients admitted to the ICU are also assigned retrospective eSAPS3 scores (see citation 16). The eSAPS3 has a 12 hour “look back” time frame and a +1 hour “look forward” time frame for data capture, with the T0 being time of physical entry into the ICU.

LAPS2dc (LAPS2 at discharge)

The LAPS2dc is calculated in the same way as the LAPS2 except that (a) the T0 was set to 0800 hours on the day of discharge, (b) the “look back” time frame was set to 24 hours instead of 72, and (c) all patients were assumed to be “low risk” for the purposes of imputation of missing data (see citation 19 for additional details on the LAPS2 imputation algorithm).

CARE DIRECTIVE

We examined both admission and discharge care directives. As we have reported in citation 19, admission care directives are mandatory (“hard stop”) in the EMR, and a physician’s other orders cannot be signed without a care directive being specified. For the discharge care directive, we employed the last care directive ordered by the treating physicians. We grouped these as “full code” vs. “not full code” (which included “do not resuscitate,” “partial code,” and “comfort care only”).

1. APPENDIX 3: PREDICTIVE MODELING METHODOLOGY EMPLOYED

The body of this paper discussed four models. For one of them (30-day combined outcome at discharge) we were fortunate in that the superior model ended up using the simple-to-implement logistic regression method. Other methods considered (using SAS version 9.3, JMP version 7, or R version 3 as needed) were ANCOVA, saturated ANOVA with smoothing by logistic regression when needed, random forest, conditional inference recursive partition, neural network, recursive-partition-then-logistic regression, and a nearest-neighbor Mahananobis-distance-weighted approach that does not limit itself to a fixed number of neighbors.

Some of these methods built models on a random 1/6 of patients and then tested on another random 1/6. Other methods built models on a random 1/4 of patients and then tested on another random 1/4. For all methods the selected model was based on its performance in their respective test data, and a separate random half of all patients (who had not been used previously by any method) was set aside for validation of that selected model. The best model was selected based on a high c-statistic with a subjective penalty for the number of covariates used and the complexity of the model itself.

Covariates considered were an indicator if admission was in the ED or not, the number of prior hospitalizations up to 7 days and up to 30 days prior to admission, the length of stay, age, gender, COPS2 at admission, the care order level at discharge, LAPS2 at admission and at 8am of day discharge, and the discharge day-of-week.

For when employing the logistic regression method, considered also were all possible two-way interactions and (for the continuously-valued covariates) four-knot restricted cubic splines (via Harrell’s %DASPLINE macro in SAS). Also the two parts of the combined outcome (death only or undesired rehospitalization only) were modelled separately and then blended to form an estimated combined outcome. Derived variables were considered as well, such as truncating length of stay and combining age, gender, COPS2, and LAPS2 via a quadratic response surface (which was in turn calibrated separately to the combined outcome, death only, and undesired rehospitalization only).

The other three models presented in this paper were developed by shorter routes. With the model for the 30-day combined outcome at discharge selected, we applied the same model structure onto the 7-day combined outcome at discharge and found the performance adequate. The two models to be run at admission benefitted from our past experience that a greedy recursive partition algorithm (JMP version 7) to identify six terminal nodes of a particular spread (including one node with a small sample size and a very high outcome rate and another node with a large sample size and a very low outcome rate) followed by a separate logistic regression (SAS version 9.3) of a same model structure for each terminal node generally yields satisfactory results. For this paper the covariates allowable for the recursive partition algorithm and the model structure of each of the six logistic regressions were age, gender, COPS2, and LAPS2. These four covariates were selected as they represent the classic two demographics, a comorbidity metric, and an acuity metric that all can be ascertained at admission in an emergency department. These four covariates entered the logistic regressions linearly and without interactions. Built in this fashion, the resulting two admission models were found to have sufficient performance, as demonstrated in the body of the paper.

(see citation 28); for NRI, we used a threshold of ≥ 40% risk for the composite study outcome.

2. ED = electronic medical record models using data available at the time of admission Discharge Day=electronic medical record models using data available at the time of discharge; LACE = length of stay, acuity, Charlson, and emergency visits score of van Walraven et al. (see citation 8).

3. The point estimate is the result from a simple subtraction of one column from another. The confidence intervals are the 2.5% and 97.5% quantiles after 1000 bootstrap replications.

APPENDIX 7: CALIBRATION CURVES IN VALIDATION DATASET

The figures in the pages that follow provide a graphical illustration of the calibration of the various models we tested for a combined outcome (death or undesirable rehospitalization within 7 or 30 days).

These figures present information as follows.

TOP LEFT: The X axis shows 10 predicted ranges (< 10%, 10 to < 20%, etc.) for the combined outcome, while the Y axis shows the actual observed rate (with its associated 95% confidence interval) in the validation dataset for all observations with that predicted risk. The dotted line shows what would be found were calibration to be perfect.

TOP RIGHT: This figure shows the distribution of observations with a given probability of the outcome where the patient did not have the combined outcome (0, top) and those where the patient did (1, bottom). As can be seen by examining sequential figures of this type, as a model performs better, the “spread” between the two subsets will increase.

BOTTOM LEFT: This figure splits all observations in the validation dataset into 10 deciles on predicted probability of the outcome shows the number of index hospitalizations where the patient was expected to have the outcome (black bars) as well as the number of index hospitalizations where the patient actually had the outcome (grey bars).

BOTTOM RIGHT: The X axis shows 10 predicted outcome ranges (< 10%, 10 to < 20%, etc.), while the Y axis shows the total number of index hospitalizations that fell within each of these ranges.

APPENDIX 8: RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION OF PREDICTORS

Relative contribution of a specific covariate was calculated in the following manner. First we determined the log likelihood from the full model and also separately from dropping each covariate in turn. The relative contribution of a specific covariate was a ratio where the denominator was the sum of the changes in the log likelihood and the numerator was the change from dropping that specific covariate.

The prior hospitalization category is a four-level factor that captures any hospitalizations before admission: none up to 30 days previous; 1+ up to 7 days previous and none 8-30 days previous; none up to 7 days previous and 1+ 8-30 days previous; and 1+ up to 7 days previous and another 1+ 8-30 days previous.

1. Refers to the predicted risk assigned by either the admit or discharge model

2. Refers to the ratio of number of patients flagged as having at least a risk of 10, 20, 30 or 50% to the number who actually had the composite outcome within the 30 day time frame. Thus, at a ≥ 10% risk level, the admit model flags 172,667 patients in the validation dataset, of whom 38,168 had the study outcome, giving a W:D of 4.52; in contrast, this ratio falls to 2.67 at a predicted risk threshold of ≥ 30%.

3. Refers to the proportion of indicated outcomes that are identified at the specified threshold. For example, in the entire validation dataset there are 45,304 patients with the study outcome. At a ≥ 10% risk level, the admit model flags 172,667 patients in the validation dataset, of whom 38,168 had the study outcome. Thus the percent of all outcomes caputured by this threshold is 84.2%.

APPENDIX 10: Supplemental analyses: Impact of incorporating diagnosis in EMR models

We assessed the value of incorporating diagnosis information following the general guidance of Pepe et al. (citation 29). Each of the four models was rebuilt and we then recalculated the various fit assessment metrics (such as the c-statistic). In each of the four, this new model used an intercept, the estimated probability from the original model, the diagnosis (as a factor), and an interaction between the latter two. Using the derivation data the optimum weight for each covariate was allowed to deviate from the value of zero (for the intercept) or one (for the other covariates). Thus diagnosis adjusts the intercept and weight for the predicted value separately for each diagnosis. The results below are from the validation dataset. Details on how individual diagnoses were grouped are provided in citation 19 and also in Appendix 11.

APPENDIX 11: Supplemental analyses – Model performance across subgroups in validation dataset

GROUPING OF ICD CODES INTO PRIMARY CONDITIONS

As described in citation 19, we combined Health Care Utilization Project (www.ahrq.gov/data/hcup) single-level diagnosis clinical classification software (CCS) categories to cluster all possible ICD admission diagnosis codes into 30 groups, which we refer to as Primary Conditions. The HCUP single-level diagnosis CCS categories were grouped based on biologic plausibility (i.e., relative similarity from a disease standpoint) and on the observed mortality rate because, for modeling purposes, it was desirable to have ~30 patient groupings with at least 30-40 deaths in the derivation dataset. The table below shows our 30 groupings with their corresponding HCUP category numbers.

APPENDIX 12: BETA COEFFICIENTS FOR MODELS FROM DERIVATION DATA

This paper developed four models: one for ED admission for a 7-day horizon (real time combined outcome, or “RTCO7A”), one for the same with a 30-day horizon (“RTCO30A”), and two more for discharge day (“RTCO7D” and “RTCO30D”). Below are the specifications of those four models. To briefly summarize, the two at admission each are a six-node tree followed by a logistic regression for each node, and the two models at discharge are simply a single logistic regression.

Below are the tree portion of RTCO7A and then of RTCO30A. In each call the left-most terminal node as “cohort 1”, continue with the node to the right of that as “cohort 2”, etc until the right-most terminal node as “cohort 6”. These trees were grown with six nodes in this specific structure as such trees have been useful for our group in the past: cohort 1 is to have a relatively small sample size but the highest outcome rate, cohort 6 is to be with a relatively large sample size and the lowest outcome rate, and all the other cohorts are to be with different sample sizes that may end up with similar outcome rates with each other.

Escobar et al. Non-elective rehospitalizations MS

Below are the results of the logistic regression fits for all four models. In terms of the discrete covariates, MALE is an indicator if the patient was male or not, and its reference level was “male”. DCO_4 is an indicator for the care level order in effect at discharge, and its reference level was “full code”. PCAT categorizes the pattern of any prior hospitalizations with these four levels, with the reference level being “4”.:

Level Meaning1 None up to 30 days ago2 1+ up to 7 days ago, and none 8-30 days ago3 None up to 7 days ago, and 1+ 8-30 days ago4 1+ up to 7 days ago, and another 1+ 8-30 days ago

APPENDIX 13: KAPLAN-MEIER CURVES FOR MODELS

Kaplan-Meier curves for patients in the validation dataset, which was divided into terciles based on predicted risk for the combined outcome (undesirable rehospitalization and/or death within 30 days). The model employed was the 30 day discharge model. The dotted line (•••) shows the lowest risk tercile (predicted risk up to 6.2%); the dashed line (- - -) hospitalizations with predicted risk of 6.2 to 9.6%; and the solid line (—) hospitalizations with predicted risk of 9.6% or more.

Appendix 15: Relationship between model predictors and disaggregated outcomes (odds ratios using univariate logistic regression)

The tables below show the following general trends in the relationship between model predictors and our composite outcome (death or non-elective rehospitalization within 30 days) as compared to each outcome alone (non-elective rehospitalization within 30 days only, death within 30 days only):

a. The directionality of predictor-outcomes relationships is similar across outcomes

b. Care directives are very strong predictors for mortality, but, nonetheless, they are still significant predictors for non-elective rehospitalization (even when the patient survived)

c. As is the case with care directives, physiologic derangement (LAPS2) and longitudinal comorbidity burden (COPS2) are very strong predictors for mortality (particularly when very elevated – for example, a LAPS2 of ≥ 110 has an odds ratio of 18.6 for mortality). Nonetheless, they are still strong predictors for rehospitalization even when the patient survived.
