A, Relative contributions of individual predictor variables in the Meta‐Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC) to total MAGGIC integer risk score. B, Histogram of MAGGIC integer risk scores in the cohort with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). A, To put all of the MAGGIC risk score component variables on a single graph, each continuous variable that was a component of the risk score (age, creatinine, systolic blood pressure, New York Heart Association [NYHA] class, and body mass index) was standardized to a mean of 0 and an SD of ±1. All other components of the score (ie, categorical variables) were added together, and this summary variable was also standardized to a mean of 0 and an SD of ±1. Next, locally weighted smoothed scatterplots of each of the MAGGIC risk score predictors were plotted against the overall risk score to show the relative contribution of high and low values of the risk score components to the overall MAGGIC risk score. B, The distribution of MAGGIC integer risk scores for all 407 patients in the cohort with HFpEF shows a nearly bell‐shaped curve with a mean score of 20±6.
