Authors' conclusion

Using common pre-procedural risk factors, the BMC2 machine learning models accurately predict post-PCI outcomes.

Study context

Population
Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at 48 Michigan hospitals (BMC2 registry), 1 April 2018–31 December 2021; external validation in 33 Washington hospitalsexternal validation 56,583 procedures
Participants
107,793 patients
Outcome
Prediction of post-PCI complications (in-hospital mortality, AKI, new-onset dialysis, stroke, major bleeding, transfusion)
Follow-up
In-hospital

Further findings

Overall event rates · in-hospital

In-hospital mortality 1.85% (n = 1999)
AKI 2.51% (n = 2519)
New-onset dialysis 0.44% (n = 462)
Stroke 0.41% (n = 447)
Major bleeding 0.89% (n = 942)
Transfusion 2.41% (n = 2592)

External validation discrimination

Similar discrimination in the external validation population

Patient preference survey (n = 66)

Survey subjects preferred a comprehensive list of individually reported post-procedure outcomes
