To validate an automated AIDS severity-of-illness prognostic algorithm, 2,113 discharge summaries of HIV-infected patients were merged with the Problem-Oriented Medical Synopsis (POMS) and an HIV risk registry. The combination of a medically derived classification and staging algorithm with multivariate statistical techniques was used for automated severity-of-illness disease staging and prognostic assignment. The model correctly predicted the outcomes of 82% of all cases (death, survivorship) at discharge, and 66% of deaths.

In recent years there has been a considerable interest in the classification of depressed patients, and in the use of multivariate statistical techniques as tools for classifying, with the hope of either validating traditional classifications or suggesting useful new ones. One technique employed for this purpose has been factor analysis. A number of studies have used this method to explore the overlapping endogenous-reactive or psychotic-neurotic dichotomies. Most have demonstrated a factor or factors reflecting such a dimension which appears to form a consistent, systematic source of variance in ratings of depressed patients (1, 5, 11, 15, 16, 18, 26, 31, 33).
