METHOD AND SYSTEM OF PREDICTING CLINICAL OUTCOME FOR A PATIENT WITH CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE

摘要

A method of predicting a clinical outcome for a patient with congestive heartfailure isdisclosed. A plurality of nonlinear first PCI models are identified based on abiomarker dataset,each of the models having a number of distinct terms. One or more second PCImodels areidentified based on the biomarker dataset, each of these models having anumber of distinctterms which corresponds to the number of distinct terms for one or more of thenonlinear firstPCI models. Each of the plurality of nonlinear first PCI models arestatistically compared to oneof the one or more second PCI models having a corresponding number of distinctterms todetermine a preference for higher versus lower degree of nonlinearity orpreference for shorterversus longer memory length. The clinical outcome is predicted based on thepreference forhigher versus lower degree of nonlinearity or memory length preference.
