Why the study?
Diagnosis and intervention for MI are time-sensitive but depend on clinical measures that can be initially inconclusive, highlighting the need for an accurate early predictor of MI to support diagnostic and management decisions.
Does a machine learning algorithm improve the prediction of myocardial infarction compared to TIMI and GRACE scores in patients evaluated in the hospital?
Does a machine learning algorithm improve the prediction of myocardial infarction compared to TIMI and GRACE scores in patients evaluated in the hospital?
A machine learning algorithm using early electronic health record data outperformed traditional TIMI and GRACE scores in predicting myocardial infarction during hospital encounters.

MLA may support early ED MI prediction from routine EHR; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Diagnosis and appropriate intervention for myocardial infarction (MI) are time-sensitive but rely on clinical measures that can be progressive and initially inconclusive, underscoring the need for an accurate and early predictor of MI to support diagnostic and clinical management decisions. The objective of this study was to develop a machine learning algorithm (MLA) to predict MI diagnosis based on electronic health record data (EHR) readily available during Emergency Department assessment. An MLA was developed using retrospective patient data. The MLA used patient data as they became available in the first 3 h of care to predict MI diagnosis (defined by International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision code) at any time during the encounter. The MLA obtained an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.87, sensitivity of 87% and specificity of 70%, outperforming the comparator scoring systems TIMI and GRACE on all metrics. An MLA can synthesize complex EHR data to serve as a clinically relevant risk stratification tool for MI.
