Machine Learning Approach to Stratify Complex Heterogeneity of Chronic Heart Failure: A Report from the CHART-2 Study

ESC Heart FailPublished Machine learning clustering analysis of a hospital-based registry

Authors' conclusion

These results suggest the potential applicability of the machine leaning approach, providing useful clinical prognostic information to stratify complex heterogeneity in patients with HF.

Study context

Population
Chronic heart failure (HF) patients with a broad spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the CHART-2 registry
Participants
4,649 patients
Exposure
Cluster 1 vs Cluster 10
Outcome
CV death, non-CV death, all-cause death and freedom from HF hospitalization by cluster
Follow-up
5 years
Methodological detailsCHART-2 study, random forest clustering, latent class analysis, 56 clinical parameters
  • CHART-2 study
  • Random forest clustering
  • Latent class analysis
  • 56 clinical parameters

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

5-year survival rate by cluster

CV death

Non-CV death

All-cause death

Free from HF hospitalization

All 11 significant clinical parameters and two aetiologies (ischaemic and valvular heart disease) differed significantly among the 10 clusters
P < 0.01

Observational data: associations, not effects.
