Machine learning enhanced acute heart failure phenotype prediction using natural language processing and random forest.
Article in Frontiers in artificial intelligence, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Heart failure (HF), with its distinct phenotypes, poses significant public health challenges. Early diagnosis of specific HF phenotypes is crucial for timely therapeutic intervention. Objectives: We employed random forests to predict acute HF (AHF) phenotypes (HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF) during admission, using structured and unstructured data types while blinded to left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) information. Methods: We investigated the predictive performance of integrated natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML)-based models in AHF phenotype classification by random forests, leveraging clinical text and laboratory data from the MIMIC-III database. Feature selection for unstructured textual data and biochemical test data was performed using the LASSO method, with selected textual features converted into structured data using one-hot encoding. The areas under the ROC and PRC curves (AUROC and AUPRC) assessed overall performance. Results: Our final study cohort comprised 1,192 training datasets and 513 independent validating datasets with primary data types and LVEF information available. The overall model from the training dataset showed the best performance with combined datasets (accuracy: 0.70 ± 0.03, AUROC: 0.76 ± 0.02) compared to the textual or laboratory dataset alone, which was replicated in the independent validating dataset. Our model achieved optimal performance by selecting up to 100 combined features from both textual and laboratory data. Reducing features to 20 did not substantially attenuate the overall model performance until only 10 features were selected. Conclusion: Our study enhances HF phenotype classification and underscores the value of multifaceted data analysis in clinical informatics, enabling more personalized heart failure treatment. Early identification of AHF phenotypes may support timely, phenotype-specific management and inform treatment decisions.
