Objective:

To create and externally validate machine-learning models for predicting in-hospital heart failure and the feasibility of achieving complete revascularization during primary PCI in STEMI patients.

Key Findings:
  • CatBoost model showed the highest performance for predicting in-hospital heart failure (AUC: 0.973; accuracy: 88.6%).
  • CatBoost also excelled in predicting procedural complete revascularization (AUC: 0.970; accuracy: 92.0%).
  • Key predictors included LAD involvement, age, symptom-to-guidewire crossing duration, and various clinical indicators.
Interpretation:

The developed models provide strong discrimination and calibration, enhancing decision-making in catheterization laboratories for STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.

Limitations:
  • The study's findings may not be generalizable beyond the specific multicenter cohort.
  • External validation may still be limited in diverse clinical settings.
Conclusion:

The study successfully developed and validated two machine learning models that can aid in predicting in-hospital heart failure and the likelihood of achieving complete revascularization during primary PCI, thus supporting clinical decision-making.
