Heart failure is a known risk condition for cardiac arrest. Improving our ability to identify patients at high risk of cardiac arrest would enable prevention. We aimed to develop a prediction model for cardiac arrest to be used in patients newly diagnosed with heart failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A nationwide registry-based observational study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were sourced from the Swedish Heart Failure Registry (1 January 2005 to 31 December 2021).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cohort included 45 068 patients discharged from hospital after first hospitalisation for newly diagnosed heart failure.

Patients who died without resuscitation were treated as competing events. A Random Survival Forest model for competing risk was developed using predictors from the heart failure registry. The model was evaluated with Brier score, observed versus predicted cumulative incidence, Concordance-index (C-index) and time-dependent area under the curve of a receiver operating characteristics graph (AUC-ROC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this cohort, 2399 (5%) patients had received cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5%), and 31 989 (71%) patients died without resuscitation. Our model with 82 predictors had a low Brier score indicating a capacity to accurately predict cumulative incidence of cardiac arrest on a group level.
