Task 1: Report on performance of the Deyo et al.
Charlson index in anticipating patients' prognosis.
- Prepare slides that describe the project
- Title page (include your name but do not include your contact)
- Slide 1 should review history of Multi-Morbidity or Multiple
Condition Indices. Hyperlink every study you mention to a
PubMed link. Do not exceed 1 slide.
- Slide 2 should present the data, including number of patients,
cleaning of the data, and number of records used in the analysis
- Slides 3 should describe how likelihood of mortality in 6 months
is calculated for each diagnosis and the number of diagnoses
- Slide 4 should describe body system progression clarifying how
diagnosis codes are used as markers of progression.
- Slide 5 should report how the index scores multiple diagnoses
within the same, and across, body system
- Slide 6 should quasi-animate an example of a patient's illness
progresses over time what happens to the overall MM score. By
quasi animate, I am referring to duplicating the same slide several
times and marking the changes in red so that in rapid succession one
could see a movement.
