Key result
Linear additive models provided the best fit for individual QT-RR profiles and outperformed six commonly used parametric models for QT interval correction.

Do generalized additive models provide a better fit for QT interval correction compared to commonly used parametric models?
Do generalized additive models provide a better fit for QT interval correction compared to commonly used parametric models?
A nonparametric approach using linear additive models provides superior QT interval correction for heart rate compared to traditional parametric models.
May improve QT correction precision in trials; leaves open impact on clinical decisions or regulatory endpoints.
We propose to use generalized additive models to fit the relationship between QT interval and RR (RR = 60/heart rate), and develop two new methods for correcting the QT for heart rate: the linear additive model and log-transformed linear additive model. The proposed methods are compared with six commonly used parametric models that were used in four clinical trial data sets and a simulated data set. The results show that the linear additive models provide the best fit for the vast majority of individual QT-RR profiles. Moreover, the QT correction formula derived from the linear additive model outperforms other correction methods.
