How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of predicting percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) based on clinical, laboratory, and electrocardiographic data available at various stages of hospitalization. A retrospective single-center study was conducted, including 137 patients with suspected coronary artery disease. The fact that PCI was performed during the current hospitalization was considered as the endpoint. Taking into account the temporary availability of data, three sets of signs were formed: basic (SAFE), including indicators available at admission; clinical (CLINICAL); and extended (EXTENDED), supplemented with glycemic parameters. Logistic regression, random forest, and gradient boosting were used to build the models. The assessment was carried out using repeated stratified cross-validation (5 × 10). The main metrics were ROC-AUC, PR-AUC, accuracy and F1-measure. The models demonstrated moderate predictive ability. The basic model (SAFE) showed a ROC-AUC of 0.734 ± 0.092, while the best results were achieved using an extended model based on a random forest (ROC-AUC 0.755 ± 0.079). The addition of glycemic parameters provided a moderate improvement in prediction quality. In the logistic regression, the most significant predictor was the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR = 7.36; p < 0.001). The results indicate the potential for using non-invasive data to assess the likelihood of PCI in the early stages of hospitalization. However, the models show moderate accuracy and require further validation on larger and more independent samples.
