Healthcare is the support or improvement of wellbeing by means of the avoidance, finding, treatment, recuperation or fix of sickness, disease, damage and other physical and mental hindrances in individuals [1]. Hospitals are dependent upon various weights, including restricted assets and human services assets which include limited funds and healthcare resources. Mortality prediction for ICU patients is basic commonly as the snappier and increasingly precise the choices taken by intensivists, the more the advantage for the two, patients and medicinal services assets. An emergency unit is for patients with the most genuine sicknesses or wounds. The vast majority of the patients need support from gear like the clinical ventilator to keep up typical body capacities and should be continually and firmly checked. For quite a long time, the number of ICUs has encountered an overall increment [2]. During the ICU remain, diverse physiological parameters are estimated and examined every day. Those parameters are utilized in scoring frameworks to measure the seriousness of the patients. ICUs are answerable for an expanding level of the human services spending plan, and consequently are a significant objective in the exertion to constrain social insurance costs [3]. Consequently, there is an expanding need, given the asset accessibility restrictions, to ensure that extra concentrated consideration assets are distributed to the individuals who are probably going to profit most from them. Basic choices incorporate hindering life-bolster medications and giving doesn’t revive orders when serious consideration is viewed as worthless. In this setting, mortality evaluation is an essential assignment, being utilized to foresee the last clinical result as well as to assess ICU viability, and assign assets.

In the course of recent decades, a few seriousness scoring frameworks and machine learning mortality prediction models have been developed [4]. Different traditional scoring techniques such as Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) [4], Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) [4], Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) [4] and Mortality Probability Model (MPM) [4] and data mining techniques like Artificial Neural Network (ANN) [5], Support Vector Machine (SVM) [5], Decision Tree (DT) [5], Logistic Regression (LR) [5] have been used in the previous researches. Mortality prediction is still an open challenge in an Intensive Care Unit.

The objective of this chapter is to develop a model to predict whether a patient will survive in hospital or not in an ICU using different models such as Discriminate Analysis (DA), Decision Tree (DT), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Naive Bayesian, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Functional Link Artificial Neural Network (FLANN), a low complexity neural network and its comparison. The dataset have been collected from the PhysioNet Challenge 2012 [6] which consists of 4,000 records of patients admitted in ICU. There are 41 variables during first 48 h after the admission of patients to the ICU from which 5 variables indicate general descriptors—age, gender, height, ICU type and initial weight, 36 variables (time series) from which 15 variables (Temp, HR, Urine, pH, RespRate, GCS, FiO2, PaCO2, MAP, SysABP, DiasABP, NIMAP, NiDiasABP, MechVent, NISysABP) will be taken as input and 5 outcome descriptors—SAPS-1 score, SOFA score, length of stay in days (LOS), length of survival and in-hospital death (0 for survival and 1 for death in hospital) to predict the survival of patients.

The rest of the chapter is organized as follows: Section 1.2 describes the previous studies of mortality prediction, Material and methods are presented in Section 1.3 where data collection, data-preprocessing, model description is properly described. Section 1.4 presents the obtained results. Section 1.5 briefly discusses the work with conclusion and finally Section 1.6 gives the future work.
