Prognostic Value of a Multi-mRNA Signature for 1-Year All-Cause Death in Hospitalized Patients With Heart Failure With a Preserved Ejection Fraction

Circ Heart FailPublished Prognostic study

Authors' conclusion

The 5-mRNA signature is a promising predictive tool for 1-year all-cause death and shows improved prognostic power over the established risk scores and NT-proBNP in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Further findings

OutcomeTest setValidation set
Discrimination: 5-mRNA signature vs reference model (AUC)
AUC reference model0.6960.712
AUC 5-mRNA signature0.8130.848
Discrimination: composite model (5-mRNA score + reference model variables)
AUC (95% CI)0.861 (0.784-0.939)0.859 (0.755-0.963)

Reclassification: composite vs reference model (NRI and IDI)

Composite model significantly improved patient classification vs reference model in both sets
