Figure 1
Calibration of the APPS for hospital mortality in different cohorts. Proportion of patients that died in the hospital, stratified per point of the APPS. Panels on the left: performance of the APPS in the training (A) and the (internal) validation (B) cohort; performance in the external validation cohort of the original APPS before (C) and after recalibration (D). The N above each bar represents the number of patient in each category. The bars in the figure are based on previously published data.
