Key Points

The aim is to develop and validate a machine learning model for predicting 6-month mortality in patients with infective endocarditis.
Developed a machine learning model named EST for accuracy assessment.
Compared EST's performance to conventional and other machine learning models.
Emphasized the need for external and multicenter validation to confirm results.
The EST model demonstrated high predictive accuracy for 6-month mortality.
Outperformed conventional methods and other machine learning models.
The model shows potential for future risk stratification despite being exploratory.

Abstract

The EST model demonstrated a high predictive accuracy for 6-month mortality in patients with IE, outperforming both conventional and other ML models. Its robust performance and interpretability suggest that, following rigorous external and multicenter validation, it may serve as a hypothesis-generating tool for risk stratification. It is not yet validated for direct clinical application and should currently be considered exploratory.
