Description
Bin Zhou and colleagues build a scoring chart to predict death risk in patients with implanted defibrillators, reporting in 2026. The devices guard against sudden cardiac death, yet some recipients still die early. A simple tool that flags high-risk patients could guide closer care.
Data came from a Chinese registry covering 2010 to 2014, with 617 patients used to build the model. Three factors survived statistical screening: daily activity recorded by the device, diabetes and the width of the main pumping chamber. The resulting nomogram reached a C-index of 0.80 in the reported testing, and a separate group of 196 patients checked its accuracy. Calibration and subgroup checks test how stable the score is.
