Development and External Validation of Diagnostic Model for in-Hospital Mortality in Patient with Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Algorithm Development and Validation (Preprint)

BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease, including ST elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI), was still the leading cause of mortality. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to develop and externally validate a diagnostic model of in-hospital mortality in the patients with acute STEMI . METHODS Design: Multivariable logistic regression of a cohort of hospitalized patients with acute STEMI. Setting: Emergency department ward of a university hospital. Participants: Diagnostic model development: A total of 2,183 hospitalized patients with acute STEMI from January 2002 to December 2011.External validation: A total of 7,485 hospitalized patients with acute STEMI from January 2012 to August 2019. Outcomes: In-hospital mortality. All cause in-hospital mortality was defined as cardiac or non-cardiac death during hospitalization. We used logistic regression analysis to analyze the risk factors of in-hospital mortality in the development data set. We developed a diagnostic model of in-hospital mortality and constructed a nomogram.We assessed the predictive performance of the diagnostic model in the validation data sets by examining measures of discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS In-hospital mortality occurred in 61out of 2,183 participants (2.8%) in the development data set. The strongest predictors of in-hospital mortality were age and Killip classification. We developed a diagnostic model of in-hospital mortality .The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was .9126±.0166, 95% confidence interval(CI)= .88015 ~ .94504 in the development set .We constructed a nomogram based on age and Killip classification. In-hospital mortality occurred in 127 out of 7,485 participants(1.7%) in the validation data set. The AUC was .9305±.0113, 95% CI= .90827 ~ .95264 in the validation set . Discrimination, calibration ,and DCA were satisfactory. Date of approved by ethic committee:25 October 2019. Date of data collection start: 6 November 2019. Numbers recruited as of submission of the manuscript:9,668. CONCLUSIONS Conclusions: We developed and externally validated a diagnostic model of in-hospital mortality in patient with acute STEMI .
