Table 2. Performance of the proposed predictive model compared to other models.

Model 5-Year C-index 5-Year Integrated Brier Score
LYFT Reported [4] 0.680 Not Reported
EPTS Reported [2] 0.69 Not Reported
EPTS Using the Same Cross-Validation Data as the Proposed Model 0.697 Not Calculated
Li et al. [6] Reported 0.700 Not Reported
Cox Model for Both Cohorts* 0.706 0.063
Random Forests for Both Cohorts* 0.718 0.062
Proposed Model without Donor Variables** 0.717 0.060
Proposed Model 0.724 0.061
Proposed Model using PMM Imputation 0.724 0.060

Performance from 10 random samples of 80,000 training observations and 20,000 out-of-sample observations for all models except those marked ‘Reported’, where the metrics shown were provided in the literature for their respective models.

*These two predictive models used the variable selection techniques we used for each cohort separately but instead applied to all the data.

**Donor variables that were removed were: AGE_DON, COD_CAD_DON, COLD_ISCH_KI, DEATH_MECH_DON, HIST_DIABETES_DON, and HIST_HYPERTENS_DON.
