Abstract

BACKGROUND: Drug-induced QT prolongation is a potentially preventable cause of morbidity and mortality, however there are no widespread clinical tools utilized to predict which individuals are at greatest risk. Machine learning (ML) algorithms may provide a method for identifying these individuals, and could be automated to directly alert providers in real time.
