From the Augsburg Myocardial Infarction Registry, 14 725 MI patients surviving the first 24\u2005h of the acute event were included: 80% in the training set for model development to train a Gradient Boosting Machine while the 20% remaining served as test set. A sequential feature selection process retained variables as long as their addition improved AUPRC within 5-fold cross-validation on the train set. We then assessed our model on the test set and performed an external validation on 1328 patients from the Brandenburg Myocardial Infarction Registry. Shapley additive explanations values were used to explain the ML model\u2019s predictions. Our model retained six variables including age, systolic blood pressure, admission levels of glucose, creatinine, leucocytes, and whether the patient had a prehospital cardiac arrest. It exhibited good calibration and discrimination ability on the internal (AUROC=0.82) and external validation (AUROC=0.85) and outperformed common scores like GRACE, CADILLAC, and TIMI (P = 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results highlight the
