Correction: Using Statistical and Machine Learning Methods to Evaluate the Prognostic Accuracy of SIRS and qSOFA

(1)

1. In Line 10 of Abstract, the figure of DT (DT = 0.89) should be changed to 0.82 (DT = 0.82). The corrected sentence is “For qSOFA, the sensitivity and specificity were DT = 0.39, LR = 0.64, NB = 0.62 and DT = 0.82, LR = 0.63, NB = 0.66, respec- tively.”

2. The multiplication notations (x) placed in the denominators of Equations (2), (3), (4) and (5) should be changed to addi- tion signs (+) on the second column in Page 141. The correct equations are as follows.

Sensitivity = _TP+FN^TP (2)

Specificity = _TN+FP^TN (3)

Positive predictive value = _TP+FP^TP (4)

Negative predictive value = _TN+FN^TN (5)
