Diagnostic or prognostic study
A novel score to predict left ventricular recovery in peripartum cardiomyopathy derived from the ESC EORP Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Registry
- Prognostic model development and internal validation study (registry)
- multinational registry
- bootstrap internal validation
Authors' conclusion
A model which accurately predicts LV recovery at 6 months in women with PPCM was derived.
Study context
- Population
- Women with peripartum cardiomyopathy (peripartum state, HF signs or symptoms, LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 45%), ESC EORP PPCM Registry, 51 countries, 2012–2018465 with 6-month echocardiogram
- Participants
- 752 women
- Outcome
- LV recovery (LVEF ≥50%)
- Follow-up
- 6 months
Performance
As reported in the abstract
Prediction of LV recovery at 6 months (ESC EORP PPCM Recovery Score)
Left ventricular (LV) recovery occurred
216 (46.5%)
Model discrimination, C-statistic
0.79 (95% CI 0.74-0.83)
Optimism-corrected C-statistic, internal validation
0.78 (95% CI 0.73-0.82)
