Traditional prognostic models, primarily developed in Caucasian populations with fewer older participants and using classical statistical approaches, may not perform well in Southeast Asian settings. This study explores the need for artificial intelligence-based risk assessment models-the STEMI-OP algorithms-designed explicitly for STEMI patients aged 60 and older following primary PCI in Vietnam. Machine learning (ML) models were developed and validated using pre- and post-PCI features, with advanced feature selection techniques to identify key predictors. SHapley Additive exPlanations and Causal Random Forests were employed to improve interpretability and causal relationships between features and outcomes, highlighting the key factors, including the Killip classification, the Clinical Frailty Scale, glucose levels, and creatinine levels in predicting in-hospital mortality. The CatBoost model with ElasticNet regression for pre-PCI prediction and the Random Forest model with Ridge regression post-PCI prediction demonstrated significantly superior performance compared to traditional risk scores, achieving AUC values of 92.16% and 95.10%, respectively, outperforming the GRACE 2.0 score (83.48%) and the CADILLAC score (87.01%). By incorporating frailty and employing advanced ML techniques, the STEMI-OP algorithms produced more precise, personalized risk assessments that could enhance clinical decision-making and improve outcomes for older STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.</p>","PeriodicalId":94160,"journal":{"name":"npj aging","volume":"11 1","pages":"48"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12144145/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144251667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research showing increased sensitivity to the opportunity cost of time in older adults predicts less overstaying, whereas a hypothesised shift towards exploitative behaviour predicts more overstaying. In an online foraging task, 350 young and older adults decided when to switch between contexts with varying reward conditions. We also assessed cognitive performance and self-reported motivation and depression. Participants consistently overstayed, and this behaviour was strongly associated with sensitivity to reward changes.

Greater global brain WMH burden related to aging has been implicated in dementia but has also been linked to brain atrophy and cognitive dysfunction in old age. We sought to investigate the regionally distributed association of global WMH lesion load with subcortical gray matter (SGM) volumes using a multivariate network analysis method in 178 community-dwelling, healthy older adults (mean age = 69.77 ± 10.22 years). We additionally applied mediation models with WMH-related subcortical volumetric differences as a mediator to evaluate a potential global WMH-related vascular risk pathway leading to cognitive aging. Global WMH burden was associated with a regionally distributed pattern of SGM atrophy involving bilateral putamen and left nucleus accumbens, with relative volume increases in bilateral caudate nucleus. Mediation analyses revealed that increasing age predicted greater WMH-SGM pattern expression, which then predicted slowed processing speed that was, in turn, associated with decrements in other age-sensitive cognitive domains of memory, executive functioning, and fine motor function. These results suggest that the multivariate WMH-SGM pattern and its association with processing speed may provide an important early indicator of age-related decrements in higher-order cognitive processes, reflecting a potential link between CVD and broader cognitive dysfunction across multiple domains in healthy aging.</p>","PeriodicalId":94160,"journal":{"name":"npj aging","volume":"11 1","pages":"44"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12120003/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144176376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
