- Abstract
Background. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major health problem worldwide, and neurologic injury remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among survivors of OHCA. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a machine learning algorithm could detect complex dependencies between clinical variables in emergency departments in OHCA survivors and perform reliable predictions of favorable neurologic outcomes. Methods. This study included adults (≥18 years of age) with a sustained return of spontaneous circulation after successful resuscitation from OHCA between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2014. We applied three machine learning algorithms, including logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB). The primary outcome was a favorable neurological outcome at hospital discharge, defined as a Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral performance category of 1 to 2. The secondary outcome was a 30-day survival rate and survival-to-discharge rate. Results. The final analysis included 1071 participants from the study period. For neurologic outcome prediction, the area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) was 0.819, 0.771, and 0.956 in LR, SVM, and XGB, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were 0.875 and 0.751 in LR, 0.687 and 0.793 in SVM, and 0.875 and 0.904 in XGB. The AUC was 0.766 and 0.732 in LR, 0.749 and 0.725 in SVM, and 0.866 and 0.831 in XGB, for survival-to-discharge and 30-day survival, respectively. Conclusions. Prognostic models trained with ML technique showed appropriate calibration and high discrimination for survival and neurologic outcome of OHCA without using prehospital data, with XGB exhibiting the best performance.
