Variable name | Description |
|---|---|
Severity classification | Severe or non-severe (Target: 194 severe and 146 non_severe) |
Sex | Male or female |
Age (years) | The patient age in years |
Platelet | Elements found in the blood. They are best known for their role in blood clotting, and are activated in the event of vascular damage to stop bleeding |
