Deep Learning for Predicting Rehospitalization in Acute Heart Failure: Model Foundation and External Validation

ESC Heart FailPublished Prognostic model development study

Authors' conclusion

Our deep learning-based model using real-world data could provide valid predictions of HF rehospitalization in 1 year follow-up.

Study context

Population
Patients admitted for acute HF (AHF) to a tertiary hospital, January 2014–January 2019
Outcome
Prediction of HF rehospitalization (AUC)
Follow-up
30, 90 and 365 days after AHF discharge
Methodological detailssingle-centre, deep learning (recurrent layers with gated recurrent units), real-world data
  • Single-centre
  • Deep learning (recurrent layers with gated recurrent units)
