This study aimed to develop several new machine learning models based on hibernating myocardium to predict the major adverse cardiac events(MACE) of ischemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction(LVSD) patients receiving either percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) or optimal medical therapy(OMT). This study included 329 LVSD patients, who were randomly assigned to the training or validation cohort. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO) regression was used to identify variables associated with MACE. Subsequently, various machine learning models were established. Model performance was compared using receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves, the Brier score(BS), and the concordance index(C-index). A total of 329 LVSD patients were retrospectively enrolled between January 2016 and December 2021. Utilizing LASSO regression analysis, five factors were selected. Based on these factors, RSF, GBM, XGBoost, Cox, and DeepSurv models were constructed. In the development and validation cohorts, the C-indices were 0.888 vs. 0.955 (RSF). The RSF model (0.991 vs. 0.982 vs. 0.980) had the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) compared with the other models. The BS (0.077 vs. 0.095vs. 0.077) of RSF model were less than 0.25 at 12, 18, and 24 months. This study developed a novel predictive model based on RSF to predict MACE in LVSD patients who underwent either PCI or OMT., (© 2024.
