Reduce the threshold for child undetermined causes of death. The proposed threshold brings the undetermined fraction in various child test datasets closer to the undetermined fraction that is seen for adult datasets.
Remove the majority of child sepsis spurious symptoms. Inadvertently, too many symptoms were listed as spurious (i.e. these symptoms were removed as predictors for child sepsis) such that child sepsis was not predicted in any dataset. Removing these spurious symptoms results in an increase in sepsis predictions that were mostly previously classified as "undetermined".
Amend the child homicide rule so that an additional condition is reporting the decedent was a victim of violence
These changes resulted in a slightly increased child performance via CCC and CSMF.
