Development and External Validation of a Diagnostic Model for in-Hospital Mortality in Patient with Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
AbstractObjectiveTo develop and externally validate a diagnostic model of in-hospital mortality in the population of unselected real-world patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).DesignMultivariable logistic regression of a cohort of hospitalized patients with acute STEMI.SettingEmergency department ward of a university hospital.ParticipantsDiagnostic model development: Totally 2183 hospitalized patients with acute STEMI from January 2002 to December 2011. External validation: Totally 7485 hospitalized patients with acute STEMI from January 2012 to August 2019.OutcomesIn-hospital mortality.ResultsTotally 61 (2.8%) patient died in the development dataset and 127(1.7%) patient died in the validation dataset. The strongest predictors of in-hospital mortality were age and Killip classification. We developed a diagnostic model of in-hospital mortality. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was 0.9126+0.0166, 95% confidence ±interval(CI)= 0.88015 ~ 0.94504 in the development set. We constructed a nomograms using the development database based on age and Killip classification. The AUC was 0.9305+0.0113,95% CI= 0.90827 ~ 0.95264 in the validation set. Discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analysis were satisfactory.ConclusionsWe developed and externally validated a strong diagnostic model of in-hospital mortality in patient with acute STEMI.We registered this study with WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) (registration number: ChiCTR1900027129; registered date: 1 November 2019). http://www.chictr.org.cn/edit.aspx?pid=44888&htm=4.
