Acute cardiac care & resuscitation

Development and external validation of a dynamic risk score for early prediction of cardiogenic shock in cardiac intensive care units using machine learning

Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc CarePublished Prediction model development and external validation study

Authors' conclusion

The novel CShock score has the potential to provide automated detection and early warning for cardiogenic shock and improve the outcomes for millions of patients who suffer from myocardial infarction and heart failure.

Further findings

Top predictors (Shapley values)

Elevated heart rate most predictive; others: admission diagnosis of STEMI, admission diagnosis of acute decompensated HF, Braden Scale, Glasgow Coma Scale, blood urea nitrogen, SBP, serum chloride, serum sodium, arterial blood pH
