Fig. 2 Comparative six-month mortality discrimination power of the PALIAR score, the Palliative Prognostic Index, the Charlson-Deyo Index, and the Charlson-Deyo Index adjusted by age in the validation cohort (n=894 patients) of a multi-institutional population of Spanish patients with advanced chronic medical conditions, by means of area under the ROC curves (using the full range of scores). ROC=receiver operating characteristic; CI=confidence interval; AA=adjusted by age.
