Background:
This study aimed to create a deep learning model for predicting phenotypic physical frailty from electronic medical record information in patients with cardiovascular disease.
Methods And Results:
This single-center retrospective study enrolled patients who could be assessed for physical frailty according to cardiovascular health study criteria (25.5% [691/2,705] of the patients were frail). Patients were randomly separated for training (Train set: 80%) and validation (Test set: 20%) of the deep learning model. Multiple models were created using LightGBM, random forest, and logistic regression for deep learning, and their predictive abilities were compared. The LightGBM model had the highest accuracy (in a Test set: F1 score 0.561; accuracy 0.726; area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristics [AUC] 0.804). These results using only commonly used blood biochemistry test indices (in a Test set: F1 score 0.551; accuracy 0.721; AUC 0.793) were similar. The created models were consistently and strongly associated with physical functions at hospital discharge, all-cause death, and heart failure-related readmission.
Conclusions:
Deep learning models derived from large sample sizes of phenotypic physical frailty have shown good accuracy and consistent associations with prognosis and physical functions.
