  1. Performance metrics obtained using only the multiclass NN as well as the hybrid neural network algorithm (multiclass NN + clinical insight) for each complication group. Comprehensive analysis in terms of sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and area under the curve (AUC) is represented for each category. The higher each metric, the better the classification is. Note the improvement in AUC values as observed upon integrating clinician expertise into the neural network model for each diagnosis category.
