Can machine learning algorithms accurately predict no reflow and in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI?
Machine learning algorithms, particularly Random Forest, demonstrated high performance in predicting the risk of no-reflow and in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
BACKGROUND: The machine learning algorithm (MLA) was implemented to establish an optimal model to predict the no reflow (NR) process and in-hospital death that occurred in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). METHODS: The data were obtained retrospectively from 854 STEMI patients who underwent pPCI. MLA was applied to predict the potential NR phenomenon and confirm the in-hospital mortality. A random sampling method was used to split the data into the training (66.7%) and testing (33.3%) sets. The final results were an average of 10 repeated procedures. The area under the curve (AUC) and the associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the receiver operator characteristic were measured. RESULTS: A random forest algorithm (RAN) had optimal discrimination for the NR phenomenon with an AUC of 0.7891 (95% CI: 0.7093-0.8688) compared with 0.6437 (95% CI: 0.5506-0.7368) for the decision tree (CTREE), 0.7488 (95% CI: 0.6613-0.8363) for the support vector machine (SVM), and 0.681 (95% CI: 0.5767-0.7854) for the neural network algorithm (NNET). The optimal RAN AUC for in-hospital mortality was 0.9273 (95% CI: 0.8819-0.9728), for SVM, 0.8935 (95% CI: 0.826-0.9611); NNET, 0.7756 (95% CI: 0.6559-0.8952); and CTREE, 0.7885 (95% CI: 0.6738-0.9033). CONCLUSIONS: The MLA had a relatively higher performance when evaluating the NR risk and in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMI who underwent pPCI and could be utilized in clinical decision making.

Deng et al. (2022) conducted an observational in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=854). Random forest algorithm (RAN) vs. Support vector machine (SVM), neural network algorithm (NNET), and decision tree (CTREE) was evaluated on Prediction of in-hospital mortality (Area Under the Curve) (AUC 0.9273, 95% CI 0.8819-0.9728). A random forest machine learning algorithm demonstrated optimal discrimination for predicting in-hospital mortality (AUC 0.9273) and the no-reflow phenomenon (AUC 0.7891) in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI.
