Machine Learning Prediction for Prognosis of Patients With Aortic Stenosis

JACC AdvPublished Prognostic model development and validation study

Authors' conclusion

In patients with AS, a machine learning algorithm predicts outcomes with good accuracy, and prognostic characteristics were identified.
