Discriminative performance of the (a) MAGGIC three-year score for all-cause mortality in heart failure patients (n = 177) and (b) MECKI two-year score for cardiovascular mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (n = 119). Red lines represent the pre-rehabilitation performance, whereas green lines represent post-rehabilitation performances of MAGGIC and MECKI. The AUC for mortality prediction increased after cardiac rehabilitation, with the largest increase for MECKI two-year from 0.60 (95% CI 0.34–0.86) at pre-rehabilitation to 0.82 (95% CI 0.72–0.91). MAGGIC: Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic heart failure; MECKI: Metabolic Exercise data combined with Cardiac and Kidney Indexes; AUC: area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve; CI: confidence interval.
