a Estimation of the first-day Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score at ICU admission by ETHOS, which generates a sequence of three tokens: the admission type (orange token), a SOFA token (indicating the SOFA score estimation will follow), and a quantile token (q-token indicated by question mark) predicting probabilities of the SOFA score’s quantile, as detailed at the bottom of the (a). The fixed position of the SOFA token ensures its consistent prediction immediately after ICU admission. The SOFA score is derived using quantile probabilities generated by ETHOS and average value of SOFA for ten quantiles (values of 1.0, 3.5 …). Since SOFA value 24 was not present in the dataset we predict values 0–23. b Correlation plot between actual and predicted SOFA scores. c For Diagnostic Related Groups (DRG) classification. The model is trained to insert a DRG token after tokens typically used at discharge time, utilizing a placeholder “DRG_UNKNOWN” for if DRG is unknown in the training set. Predicted probabilities are used to compute the top-{1,2,3,5} DRG classifications. d Visualization of DRG classification accuracy, showcasing the model’s predictive performance.
