The CatBoost algorithm model improved risk prediction compared with the CAD consortium clinical model (AUROC 0.796, 95% CI 0.740-0.853 vs AUROC 0.727, 95% CI 0.664-0.789).

Why the study?

Pre-test probability models are key for diagnosing suspected obstructive CAD, but their accuracy remains controversial.

Does a machine learning model using clinically relevant biomarkers improve the prediction of stable obstructive CAD compared to established pre-test probability models in patients with suspected CAD?

Population

1,312 patients with suspected obstructive CAD

Comparison

Eight machine learning models vs established pre-test probability models

Design

Cohort model development and internal validation study

Overview

Should not yet change pretest pathways for suspected CAD; leaves open external validation of biomarker-ML models versus PTP scores.

Structured PICO

Does a machine learning model using clinically relevant biomarkers improve the prediction of stable obstructive CAD compared to established pre-test probability models in patients with suspected CAD?

P
Population
1,312 patients with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (chronic stable coronary syndrome, angina or anginal equivalent symptoms) who underwent invasive coronary angiography, mean age 63, 59.4% male, South Korea. Excluded: acute myocardial infarction, non-obstructive moderate CAD (20-70% stenosis), and prior percutaneous coronary intervention.
I
Intervention
Machine learning models (specifically CatBoost algorithm) using 12 clinical and blood biomarker features assessed on admission (including age, sex, hypertension, troponin T, HbA1c, triglyceride, and HDL cholesterol).
C
Comparator
Established pre-test probability of CAD models (CAD consortium clinical model and updated Diamond-Forrester score).
O
Outcome
Prediction of stable obstructive CAD (defined as stenosis ≥70% in the epicardial coronary artery or ≥50% in the left main coronary artery).surrogate

Machine learning models incorporating routine clinical and blood biomarkers provide higher accuracy for predicting stable obstructive CAD than traditional pre-test probability scores.

Limitations

  • retrospective single-center analysis susceptible to data selection and measurement biases
  • not externally validated
  • some values were missing from the data
  • did not compare the ML-based model with other non-invasive diagnostic tests
