Popis: Introduction: Multiple supervised machine learning (ML) models have been used to assess the outcomes in patients who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure, however, supervised ML requires significant expert time for annotation and labeling. Unsupervised ML can provide insight into the dataset without this process. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that unsupervised k-means ML can identify distinct phenogroups in TAVR patients that can predict prognosis without a priori knowledge. Methods: A retrospective study of patients who underwent TAVR (Jan 2012-Dec 2017) at Mayo Clinic sites was performed. Baseline demographics, EKG, cardiac computed tomography, and echocardiographic data were abstracted. Variables with ≥ 20% missing data were excluded. Prior to the k-means clustering algorithm, principal component analysis was used for dimensionality reduction. Input variables were analyzed according to k-means determined clusters. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to assess the survival of each cluster. Results: A total of 1071 consecutive patients were included in the final analysis. A total of 141 unique variables were used. The mean age was 80.7±8.6 years, 58.2% were male. Patients were divided into 2 distinct phenogroups. In the two phenogroups, cluster 0 (n=639) has significantly better survival than cluster 1 (n= 432) (log-rank p=0.0002) (Figure 1). Cluster 1 has features of low flow-low gradient (LFLG) hemodynamic profile, including lower systolic blood pressure, mean aortic valve gradient, peak aortic valve velocity, and worse LV ejection fraction. Conclusions: Unsupervised ML can identify distinct phenotype features with prognostic significance in TAVR patients. Our results suggest that patients with LFLG hemodynamic features are intrinsically different from other TAVR patients and require more attention to avoid adverse outcomes.
