Four years' treatment with ketamine and a trial of dextromethorphan in a patient with severe post-herpetic neuralgia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Mortality prediction models are applied in the intensive care unit (ICU) to stratify patients into different risk categories and to facilitate benchmarking. To ensure that the correct prediction models are applied for these purposes, the best performing models must be identified. As a first step, we aimed to...
