Figure 6: Adjusted risk of complication and readmission events.
From: Analysis of free text in electronic health records for identification of cancer patient trajectories

There are several paths that may bring a patient from an event to an outcome. Thus, we nominate the number of paths k. (A) The six events with high-risk for downstream complications and readmission with cancer. (B) The seven events with high-risk for downstream complications and readmission with metastasis.
