The variables included age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, chronic kidney failure, Charlson comorbidity index, and length of hospital stay. In-hospital mortality (\u201cin-hospital death\u201d) was defined as the dependent variable. The machine learning methods used included logistic regression, random forest, gradient boosting, and multilayer perceptron models. The model performance was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic area under the curve, precision\u2013recall area under the curve, F1 score, and Brier score.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In-hospital mortality was observed in 7 of the 229 patients included in the study (3.1%). The mean age and frequency of chronic kidney disease were higher among deceased patients, whereas the Charlson comorbidity index did not differ significantly between survivors and non-survivors. In model comparisons, the Gradient Boosting model showed the best overall performance (ROC-AUC: 0.87, PR-AUC: 0.76, F1: 0.73; Brier score: 0.12).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Gradient Boosting model demonstrated the highest performance in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with heart failure.
