    The study analyzed 24,360 patients with 34,149 lesions treated with PCI to predict target-lesion revascularization (TLR) using machine learning and Cox regression.

  • 2

    Machine learning-based Cox-LASSO showed a minor improvement in predicting short-term TLR risk compared to conventional Cox regression models.

  • 3

    At 1–5 years post-PCI, stepwise Cox regression demonstrated the best predictive performance for TLR, outperforming Cox-LASSO.

  • 4

    Most risk factors for TLR were consistent between conventional Cox models and the Cox-LASSO model, indicating similar predictive capabilities.

  • 5

    The study concluded that Cox-LASSO did not significantly enhance predictive performance over traditional Cox regression for TLR.
