Abstract | This paper introduces a discrete conditional survival model (DC-S) with a classification component for predicting patient outcome and survival component for predicting length of stay in hospital. The DC-S model consists of two components; the conditional component which utilises a classification tree and the survival component which models the survival distribution. The survival component of the model is conditioned on the discrete conditional component, the classification tree. The DC-S model with classification tree is applied to a healthcare scenario where the length of stay of babies in neonatal wards in Northern Ireland (United Kingdom) is modelled using the baby characteristics known on the first day of admission. The resulting model can accurately predict length of stay of babies and thus has the potential to be used in bed planning. Hospitals could use such good estimates for the length of stay of patients (determined on the day of arrival) to plan ahead to make the correct provisions available during their stay. Not only does this have resource implications, it can also help patient families. The resulting model can also predict the occurrence (or otherwise) of late onset sepsis, which has implications on a patients stay. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
