    Abstract

    Statistical models have been widely used in public health and made a difference in a wide range of applications. For example, they provide new ideas for efficient feature selection. This paper attempts to demonstrate how to apply regression-based methods to accurately predict in-hospital mortality of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) patients. Logistic regression is used to predict the in-hospital death. It is found that admission age, residency, solid tumor, hemic malignancy, COAD, Dementia, PLT, Lymphocyte, Urea, and ALP are the significant prognostic factors (P
