We applied model-based clustering (i.e. latent class analysis [LCA]) to identify distinct subtypes of acute dyspnoea and assess their prognostic relevance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analysed two prospective ED acute dyspnoea adult cohorts (LEDA and BASEL V). LCA was performed in the LEDA derivation cohort using nine admission clinical\/biological variables. A simplified decision tree was derived in the LEDA cohort and externally validated to classify BASEL V patients. Subtypes were compared regarding clinical characteristics, biomarker profiles, and 90-day mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 1392 LEDA and 1886 BASEL V patients, four reproducible subtypes were identified and labelled as \u2018non-inflammatory\u2019 (A), \u2018tachycardic\u2019 (B), \u2018anaemic\u2019 (C) and \u2018hypoxemic\u2019 (D). Subtypes transcended conventional diagnostic categories. Inflammatory and cardiovascular biomarker levels increased significantly from A to D (all P &amp;lt; .001). After adjusting for traditional risk factors, assignment remained independently associated with the 3-month mortality risk, with the worst outcome for patients assigned to the \u2018hypoxemic\u2019 subtype [adjusted HR (95% CI) for subtype D: LEDA 3.87 (2.17\u20136.87), P &amp;lt; .0001; BASEL V 5.15 (2.71\u20139.76), P &amp;lt; .001]. Adding subtype membership improved the Harrell C-index for 3-month mortality beyond a linear combination of the three main class-defining variables (LEDA 0.73 to 0.77, P = .04; BASEL V 0.76 to 0.79, P = .03).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A model-based clustering approach identified four reproducible acute dyspnoea subtypes with distinct clinical, biomarker, and prognostic profiles.
