Education War Era Cardiac Surgery These stratified actuarial depictions are very useful, but… They have limited value for predicting outcomes for an individual patient. The stratified actuarial method forces conditions like..”assuming he/she does not receive a heart transplant”, or..”assuming there is not explant for recovery” Ideally, INTERMACS could provide software or website applications that allow the physician to provide the patient with the most useful predictions of the chances of various outcomes occurring to him/her. 33
Education War Era Cardiac Surgery Predictive modeling for outcome events based on initial implant strategy The goal is useful predictions of the likelihood (probability) of a specific patient (with his/her individual risk profile) experiencing a given outcome depending on the initial implant strategy. The basic methodology utilizes multivariable hazard function analyses on the competing outcomes platform. The basic strategies are BTT, BTC, DT, and BTR. The outcome event of interest are Transplant, Alive on device, Explant for recovery, and death. David Naftel will review our initial steps in this process. 34
