Abstract

BACKGROUND: Clinical end point classification (CEC) is the gold standard for cardiovascular end point measurement in clinical trials but adds time and cost. We developed and validated an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm (adaptive AI for CEC [ADAPT-CEC]) that adjudicates multiple cardiovascular end points and adapts to new definitions. METHODS: ADAPT-CEC was derived from myocardial infarctio…
