....anion gap, plasma Na , K , Cl Gamma , fibrinogen, D dimer, endotoxin, the enzymes SDH, GLDH, PLA 2 , and a D dimer to fibrinogen ratio. Several studies have analyzed the diagnostic and prognostic value of individual features and feature combinations in equine colic; for a review, see Sandholm et al. 1995). High pulse rate associated with high packed cell volume, dull color of mucus membranes, delayed oral mucus capillary refill time, disturbances in acid base parameters such as increased lactate or anion gap and a hypercoagulative condition have been used as predictors for poor prognosis. In ....

....a hypercoagulative condition have been used as predictors for poor prognosis. In other words, pathophysiological knowledge has guided decision making. Multiple logistic regression has been used to combine various predictors for most accurate prediction so far (Reevers et al. 1992) Recently Sandholm et al. 1995) reported that increasing heart rate and plasma D dimer together with decreasing chloride was a typical risk factor for non survival, and that these three features could be used to enhance the accuracy of the logistic regression. This paper discusses the application of symbolic induction ....
