Does heart rate multiscale entropy predict hospital mortality in trauma patients in the intensive care unit?
Heart rate multiscale entropy calculated from as little as 3 hours of data is a robust predictor of hospital mortality in critically ill trauma patients.
Norris et al. (2008) studied this question.
