| Description | Background: Whereas transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become the gold standard for aortic valve stenosis treatment in high-risk patients, it has recently been extended to include intermediate risk patients. However, the mortality rate at 5 years is still elevated. The aim of the present study was to develop a novel machine learning (ML) approach able to identify the best predictors of 5-year mortality after TAVI among several clinical and echocardiographic variables, which may improve the long-term prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 471 patients undergoing TAVI. More than 80 pre-TAVI variables were collected and analyzed through different feature selection processes, which allowed for the identification of several variables with the highest predictive value of mortality. Different ML models were compared. Results: Multilayer perceptron resulted in the best performance in predicting mortality at 5 years after TAVI, with an area under the curve, positive predictive value, and sensitivity of 0.79, 0.73, and 0.71, respectively. Conclusions: We presented an ML approach for the assessment of risk factors for long-term mortality after TAVI to improve clinical prognosis. Fourteen potential predictors were identified with the organic mitral regurgitation (myxomatous or calcific degeneration of the leaflets and/or annulus) which showed the highest impact on 5 years mortality. |
