Abstract

AIMS: Models predicting mortality in heart failure (HF) patients are often limited with regard to performance and applicability. The aim of this study was to develop a reliable algorithm to compute expected in-hospital mortality rates in HF cohorts on a population level based on administrative data comparing regression analysis with different machine learning (ML) models.
