An alternative model for assessing mortality risk in Stevens Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis using a random forests classifier: A pilot study.

Introduction: Mortality risk prediction is an important part of the clinical assessment in the Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) patient. The SCORTEN and ABCD-10 scoring systems have been used as predictive clinical tools for assessing this risk. However, some of the metrics required in calculating these scores, such as the total body surface area (TBSA) involvement, are difficult to calculate.
