Multimodal Fusion Artificial Intelligence Model to Predict Risk for MACE and Myocarditis in Cancer Patients Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

JACC AdvPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

A multimodal fusion AI model to predict myocarditis and adverse cardiovascular events in cancer patients starting ICI therapy had good prognostic performance.

Study context

Population
Cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) who had troponin measurement, tertiary institution, 2011–2022
Participants
2,258 patients
Exposure
Multimodal joint fusion artificial intelligence (AI) model vs individual electrocardiogram (ECG) and baseline EMR/laboratory value models
Outcome
Composite of:
  • ICI-related myocarditis
  • MACE (TIA/stroke, new HF diagnosis, MI, cardiac death)
Methodological detailssingle tertiary institution
  • Single tertiary institution
