The identification of high-risk patients within this population is crucial for reducing complications, improving outcomes, and guiding clinical decision-making.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This study aimed to develop and externally validate predictive models based on machine learning algorithms to estimate the risk of MACEs in patients with coexisting UA and HFpEF, and to construct an online risk calculator to support individualized prevention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n This multicenter cohort study included 4459 patients with both HFpEF and UA admitted to 7 hospitals across eastern, central, and western China between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2021. Patients were divided into the derivation cohort (n=2923) and external validation cohort (n=1536) based on geographic regions. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were extracted from electronic medical records. Key predictors were identified using a hybrid feature selection method combining least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and Boruta algorithms. A total of 33 survival models were developed, including a variety of machine learning algorithms and survival analysis models. The model with the best concordance index (C-index) performance was deployed as a web-based risk calculator. Additionally, we assessed other performance indicators of the best-performing model, including the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, recall,\n F<\/jats:italic>\n 1<\/jats:sub>\n -score, Brier scores, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Using a combination of the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and the Boruta algorithm, 7 key predictors were identified: diabetes mellitus, blood platelet count, triglyceride, systemic inflammatory response index, triglyceride-glucose\u2013BMI, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, and atherogenic index of plasma. The surv.xgboost.cox model was used to predict MACEs in patients with UA and HFpEF due to its superior C-index. The model demonstrated the following performance metrics in the external validation cohort: a C-index of 0.788; cumulative\/dynamic area under the curve of 0.81; and area under the curve values at 20, 30, and 40 months of 0.809 (95% CI 0.745\u20100.873), 0.784 (95% CI 0.745\u20100.824), and 0.807 (95% CI 0.776\u20100.838), respectively. The model exhibited satisfactory calibration and clinical utility in predicting 40-month MACEs. Model interpretability was enhanced using Shapley Additive Explanations for survival analysis to provide global and individual explanations. Furthermore, we converted the surv.xgboost.cox-based model into a publicly available tool for predicting 40-month MACEs, providing estimated probabilities based on the predictive indicators entered.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n We developed a surv.xgboost.cox-based predictive model for MACEs in patients with the dual phenotype of HFpEF and UA. We implemented this model as a web-based calculator to facilitate clinical application.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/78402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,15]],"date-time":"2025-12-15T22:23:52Z","timestamp":1765837432000},"page":"e78402-e78402","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Multimodal Data\u2013Driven Explainable Prognostic Model for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events Prediction in Patients With Unstable Angina and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: Multicenter, Cross-Regional Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1051-1916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yijun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5924-6812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaoling","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-1676-5664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yujie","family":"Luan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-5757-1859","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Menglei","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9552-5242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenyuan","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8640-6371","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bing","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7932-4950","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tongjian","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-0714-8579","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiajun","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-6649-077X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bowen","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4894-4858","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Long","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7863-0331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0763-7728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinhui","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,15]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1038\/s12276-019-0323-2","article-title":"Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: present status and future directions","volume":"51","author":"Yoon","journal-title":"Exp Mol Med"},{"issue":"3","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"466","DOI":"10.1002\/ejhf.2417","article-title":"A population-based study of 92 clinically recognized risk factors for heart failure: co-occurrence, prognosis and preventive potential","volume":"24","author":"Banerjee","journal-title":"Eur J Heart Fail"},{"issue":"3","key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"251","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2013.09.039","article-title":"Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: comparison of patients with and without angina pectoris (from the Duke Databank for Cardiovascular Disease)","volume":"63","author":"Mentz","journal-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol"},{"issue":"9","key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"967","DOI":"10.1002\/ejhf.142","article-title":"Coronary artery disease and 10-year outcome after hospital admission for heart failure with preserved and with reduced ejection fraction","volume":"16","author":"Rusinaru","journal-title":"Eur J Heart Fail"},{"issue":"4","key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"460","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjcard.2006.08.056","article-title":"Hospitalizations due to unstable angina pectoris in diastolic and systolic heart failure","volume":"99","author":"Ahmed","journal-title":"Am J Cardiol"},{"issue":"8","key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1185","DOI":"10.1002\/ejhf.2946","article-title":"Heart failure diagnosis in the general community\u2014Who, how and when?
