Cox regression landmark analyses with a 2-year follow-up identified the model (ASGARD) with the lowest Akaike information criterion for association to AS-related composite outcome (heart failure hospitalization, aortic valve replacement, or cardiovascular death). Fine\u2013Gray analyses provided cumulative event rates by ASGARD score quartiles. The ASGARD score was internally validated in the remaining 496 patients (31%) from the SEAS cohort and externally in 71 asymptomatic outpatients with non-severe AS from six Copenhagen hospitals. The ASGARD score comprises updated measurements of heart rate and age- and sex-adjusted N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide upon transaortic maximal velocity (Vmax) from the previous year. The ASGARD score had high predictive accuracy across all cohorts (external validation: area under the curve: 0.74 [95% CI, 0.62\u20130.86]), and similar to an updated Vmax measurement. An ASGARD score \u2264 50% was associated with AS-related event rates \u2264 5% for a minimum of 15 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
