Background: Significant variability in outcomes after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation emphasize the importance of accurately assessing patients' risk before surgery. This study assesses the Machine Learning Assessment of Risk and Early Mortality in Heart Failure (MARKER-HF) mortality risk model, a machine learning-based tool using 8 clinical variables, to predict post-LVAD implantation mortality and its prognostic enhancement over the Interagency Registry of Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) profile.

Methods: Analyzing 25,365 INTERMACS database patients (mean age 56.
