Cardiac arrest & resuscitation

Phenotypic clustering of myocardial infarction complicated by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest using unsupervised machine learning

ResuscitationPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Unsupervised machine learning identified three phenotypes among patients with MI-related OHCA associated with distinct outcomes.

Study context

Population
Patients admitted after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) related to myocardial infarction (MI)
Participants
478 patients
Exposure
Clusters 2 and 3 vs cluster 1
  • Cluster 1n = 260reference
  • Cluster 2n = 118
  • Cluster 3n = 100
Outcome
All-cause mortality
Follow-up
90 days
Methodological detailsunsupervised machine learning, k-means clustering

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Each group vs cluster 1Hazard ratio (95% CI)
Cluster 2
2.97(2.07–4.26)
Cluster 3
6.75(4.74–9.60)

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Safety

In-hospital adverse events (all-cause mortality, bleeding, stent thrombosis)

Most frequent in cluster 3
