Popis: To evaluate the long-term prognostic value of coronary CT angiography (cCTA)-derived plaque measures and clinical parameters on major adverse cardiac events (MACE) using machine learning (ML). Datasets of 361 patients (61.9 ± 10.3 years, 65% male) with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent cCTA were retrospectively analyzed. MACE was recorded. cCTA-derived adverse plaque features and conventional CT risk scores together with cardiovascular risk factors were provided to a ML model to predict MACE. A boosted ensemble algorithm (RUSBoost) utilizing decision trees as weak learners with repeated nested cross-validation to train and validate the model was used. Performance of the ML model was calculated using the area under the curve (AUC). MACE was observed in 31 patients (8.6%) after a median follow-up of 5.4 years. Discriminatory power was significantly higher for the ML model (AUC 0.96 [95%CI 0.93–0.98]) compared with conventional CT risk scores including Agatston calcium score (AUC 0.84 [95%CI 0.80–0.87]), segment involvement score (AUC 0.88 [95%CI 0.84–0.91]), and segment stenosis score (AUC 0.89 [95%CI 0.86–0.92], all p
