Enhancing Neurocognitive Outcome Prediction in Congenital Heart Disease Patients: The Role of Brain Age Biomarkers and Beyond

Show abstract
This paper aimed to investigate the predictive power of combining demographic, socioeconomic, and genetic factors with a brain MRI-based quantified measure of accelerated brain aging (referred to as deltaAGE) for neurocognitive outcomes in adolescents and young adults with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). Our hypothesis posited that including the brain age biomarker (deltaAGE) would enhance neurocognitive outcome predictions compared to models excluding it. We conducted comprehensive analyses, including leave-one-subject-out and leave-one-group-out cross-validation techniques. Our results demonstrated that the inclusion of deltaAGE consistently improved prediction performance when considering the Pearson correlation coefficient, a preferable metric for this study. Notably, the deltaAGE -augmented models consistently outperformed those without deltaAGE across all cross-validation setups, and these correlations were statistically significant (p-value < 0.05). Therefore, our hypothesis that incorporating the brain-age biomarker alongside demographic, socioeconomic, and genetic factors enhances neurocognitive outcome predictions in adolescents and young adults with CHD is supported by the findings.
