Abstract 14239: Risk Factors for One-year Mortality and Allograft Loss in Pediatric Heart Transplant Patients Using Machine Learning: Analysis of the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society Database
Abstract:Background:
Pediatric heart transplant (TX) patients are at greatest risk of graft loss (GL) in the first year, which may increase due to accumulated risks in the pre-TX period. Machine learning (ML) may identify clinically relevant outcome characteristics without prior statistical assumptions. We assessed whether ML could improve risk assessment for one-year patient or graft survival in pediatric heart TX.
Methods:
Patients in the PHTS database from Ja… Show more
