摘要
Critical care providers are faced with resource shortages and must find ways to effectively plan their resource utilization. Neural networks provide a new method for evaluating trauma patient (and other medical patient) level of illness and accurately predicting a patient's length of stay at a hospital. Backpropagation, RBF, and fuzzy ARTMAP neural networks are implemented to determine the applicability of neural networks for predicting a patient's injury severity and length of stay. A combination of backpropagation and fuzzy ARTMAP neural networks is recommended to produce the optimal combined (injury severity and length of stay) results.
