Abstract
Background: The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality (STS) score is used to risk stratify patients for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, calculation of the STS score requires compilation of 24 parameters. We examined the prognostic value of: 1) STS score alone; 2) STS score with various transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) parameters; and 3) TTE parameters without STS score in predicting mortality in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) ineligible for surgical valve replacement. Methods: Baseline demographics, TTE parameters, STS scores and clinical outcomes at an average follow-up of 1.8 years were obtained from 106 (40 male, 79+10 yrs) medicallymanaged inoperable patients with severe AS undergoing TTE from January 2007 to February 2012. TTE predictors of mortality were identified from univariate analyses. Hierarchical, multivariable Cox regression models were constructed. C-index was used to compare non-nested models. Results: Overall mortality rate was 56%. Left atrial volume (LA Vol), E/E', left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and 4-chamber global longitudinal strain (4C-GLS) were significant univariable predictors of mortality. The combination of LA Vol, E/E', LVEF and 4C-GLS provided a better predictive model than the STS score alone or in combination with TEE parameters (Figure). Conclusions: Although STS score is an excellent predictor of mortality, the combination of LA Vol, E/E', LVEF and 4C-GLS is superior. This 4-parameter TTE score offers a practical and easier alternative to the STS score in predicting mortality in inoperable AS patients.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
