The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

Cardiovascular risk tools are usually built on one site's data or on pooled individual records, both of which run into privacy barriers when institutions want to collaborate. This paper shows that a deep survival network can be trained jointly on two real population cohorts that never exchange raw data: the large Lifelines study with self-reported events and the smaller Rotterdam Study with digitally linked clinical outcomes. After twenty rounds of federated averaging, discrimination rose in both cohorts, with the clearer gain on the Rotterdam side that has complete follow-up. The result matters because it suggests a practical route to larger, more generalizable risk models while leaving patient-level data behind institutional walls.

Core claim

DeepSurv models trained with Federated Averaging across Lifelines (n=148,230, self-reported outcomes) and the Rotterdam Study (n=10,155, digitally linked outcomes) achieve higher C-statistics than identical models trained only on local data: Rotterdam rises from 0.728 to 0.739 and Lifelines from 0.783 to 0.787, with primary evaluation on Rotterdam because of its complete follow-up.

What carries the argument

Horizontal Federated Averaging (FedAvg) of DeepSurv weights: each site trains the same [12,16,16,1] network for 100 local epochs, then a central aggregator computes a sample-size-weighted average of the weights and redistributes it for the next of 20 rounds; raw records never leave their sites.

Load-bearing premise

That Lifelines' noisier, self-reported events with midpoint-interval dates still carry enough signal under sample-size-weighted averaging to improve a model judged on Rotterdam's precise clinical outcomes, despite large gaps in age, event rate, and outcome definition.

What would settle it

Re-run the same 10-split protocol after deliberately dropping or randomly flipping a substantial fraction of Lifelines event labels and check whether the Rotterdam C-statistic still rises above its local baseline of 0.728; if the gain disappears, the claim that the large noisy cohort helps the precise one fails.

Watch this falsifier — get emailed when new claim-graph text bears on it.

If this is right

  • Institutions that cannot pool patient records can still improve local CVD risk models by exchanging only model weights under FedAvg.
  • A large cohort with imperfect outcome ascertainment can still raise discrimination on a smaller cohort that has gold-standard follow-up.
  • Convergence must be monitored site-by-site; sample-size-weighted averaging can produce non-monotonic trajectories when cohort sizes differ by an order of magnitude.
  • Existing GDPR-compliant cloud workspaces and joint-controller agreements already support this style of multi-cohort deep survival training.

Where Pith is reading between the lines

These are editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Adaptive early-stopping or quality-aware reweighting of client updates would likely reduce the late-training dip seen on the smaller, higher-quality node.
  • The same harmonization-plus-FedAvg pipeline should transfer to other time-to-event endpoints (cancer, dementia) that face identical privacy and label-noise tensions.
  • If competing-risk models replace simple censoring of non-CVD death, absolute risk calibration in older Rotterdam participants would be the natural next stress test.

Referee Report

3 major / 6 minor

Summary. The manuscript evaluates federated training of DeepSurv (FedAvg over 20 rounds on Vantage6) across two heterogeneous Dutch cohorts—Lifelines (N=148,230; self-reported CVD with midpoint event times) and the Rotterdam Study (N=10,155; digitally linked clinical outcomes)—without sharing individual-level data. After FHIR-based harmonization of 12 standard CVD predictors, local vs federated discrimination is compared on held-out stratified splits (10 runs, corrected resampled t-test CIs). The primary claim is that federation raises the C-statistic relative to local training: Rotterdam 0.728 (0.717–0.739) → 0.739 (0.728–0.749); Lifelines 0.783 (0.775–0.791) → 0.787 (0.780–0.792), with Rotterdam as the primary evaluation cohort because of complete follow-up.

Significance. If the performance gain is real and transferable, the work is a useful real-world demonstration that federated deep survival models can improve CVD risk prediction across cohorts that differ in size, age, event rate, and outcome ascertainment, while remaining within existing GDPR/governance constraints. Strengths include a genuine multi-site (not pseudo-split) setup, a documented HL7 FHIR harmonization pipeline, fixed architecture/seed, 10 stratified runs with corrected resampled CIs, primary evaluation on the better-labeled cohort, and an unusually candid discussion of size imbalance and label noise. The contribution is incremental relative to the prior MyDigiTwin infrastructure paper, but the multi-cohort evaluation is the right next step for the field.

major comments (3)
  1. [Table 2 / Results §3] Table 2 and §3: The central claim that federation improves discrimination rests on point-estimate increases whose 95% CIs fully overlap (Rotterdam federated point equals the local upper bound; local point equals the federated lower bound). Only separate CIs for each setting are reported; no paired or corrected-resampled test of the federation-minus-local difference is given. Without a formal test of ΔC (or equivalent), the primary claim remains statistically under-supported and should be either tested or substantially softened in the abstract and conclusions.
  2. [Eq. (4) / Figure 2(A) / Discussion] Eq. (4) and Figure 2(A): FedAvg weights updates by sample size, so Lifelines (~15× larger training set) dominates the aggregate. The Rotterdam trajectory peaks near iteration 12 (~0.740) then declines slightly by iteration 20, which the Discussion attributes to growing Lifelines influence. Reporting only the final (iteration-20) model as the federated result, without a pre-specified stopping rule, quality-weighted aggregation, or an ablation that equalizes or down-weights the noisier node, leaves open whether the reported Rotterdam gain is stable transfer of signal or a transient/size-weighting artifact. At minimum, report best-iteration and last-iteration results with a formal comparison, and discuss (or ablate) alternatives to pure nk/n weighting given the known label-quality asymmetry (Section 2.2.2).
  3. [Section 2.2.2 / Discussion] Section 2.2.2 and Discussion: The weakest modeling assumption is that Lifelines self-reported events with midpoint-interval times remain informative under size-weighted FedAvg for a model evaluated on Rotterdam’s precise clinical outcomes, despite large differences in age, event rate (2.6% vs 13.2%), and outcome definition. The paper acknowledges this but does not quantify sensitivity (e.g., event-time noise simulation on Lifelines, or federation with event-type subsets). A sensitivity analysis or explicit bound on how much label noise can be tolerated would make the transfer claim more credible.
minor comments (6)
  1. [Abstract / Table 2] Abstract and Table 2: State explicitly that CIs overlap and that no formal test of the difference was performed (or add the test), so readers are not left to infer statistical significance from non-overlapping language that is not used but easily misread.
  2. [Section 2.3.1] Section 2.3.1: The architecture [12, 16, 16, 1], dropout 0.20, lr 1e-4, batch 1024, 100 local epochs, and 20 rounds are free hyperparameters with no tuning description. Briefly note whether they were fixed a priori from the prior MyDigiTwin work or selected on validation data.
  3. [Section 2.3.3] Section 2.3.3: Median imputation is done independently per site; a short note on missingness rates by cohort would help assess whether imputation differences could affect federation.
  4. [Discussion] Discussion: Competing risks (non-CVD death treated as censoring) is correctly flagged as a limitation for absolute risk in older Rotterdam participants; consider stating that discrimination (C-statistic) is the sole reported metric and is less directly affected than calibration/absolute risk.
  5. [References] References / Katzman et al.: The DeepSurv citation line appears garbled in the reference list (“Ded2008generalepsurv”); please correct the bibliographic entry.

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No circularity: federated vs local C-statistic comparison is an external empirical evaluation, not a result forced by definition or self-citation.

full rationale

The paper's central claim is that DeepSurv trained with FedAvg across Lifelines and the Rotterdam Study yields higher held-out C-statistics than the same architecture trained locally (Table 2; Results). The C-statistic is a standard discrimination metric computed on independent local test splits (80/10/10 stratified resampling, 10 runs, corrected resampled t-test CIs); it is not defined by the partial log-likelihood objective (Eq. 3) or by the FedAvg weighted average (Eq. 4). Local baselines use only each node's own data before any aggregation, so the reported gains are not tautological. Self-citations to MyDigiTwin / Cadavid et al. (2025) and the Vantage6 platform describe infrastructure, FHIR harmonization, and a prior pseudo-split feasibility study; they do not supply a uniqueness theorem, ansatz, or fitted parameter that forces the multi-cohort performance numbers. Outcome definitions, predictor sets, and cohort characteristics are stated independently of the claimed improvement. Overlapping CIs and sample-size weighting are statistical/causal concerns, not circular reductions of prediction to input. Score 0 is therefore appropriate.

Axiom & Free-Parameter Ledger

4 free parameters · 5 axioms · 0 invented entities

The claim rests on standard survival and FL machinery plus domain choices about predictors, outcomes, imputation, and aggregation. Free parameters are the usual neural-net and training hyperparameters chosen by the authors; axioms are Cox partial likelihood, FedAvg weighting, and the assumption that self-report labels remain useful under federation. No new physical entities are invented.

Cardiovascular disease risk prediction models often rely on data from a single institution or centrally pooled datasets. Extending these models across institutions could be limited by privacy regulations and constraints on sharing patient-level data. Federated learning enables collaborative model development without transferring sensitive patient data, but its application in healthcare remains challenging because datasets often differ in size, population characteristics, and outcome definitions. In this study, we present a federated deep learning approach for privacy-preserving cardiovascular disease risk prediction that integrates two population-based cohorts with different characteristics: Lifelines, including 148,230 participants meeting the study inclusion criteria with self-reported outcomes, and the Rotterdam Study, including a smaller cohort of 10,155 participants with digitally linked clinical outcomes. Model performance was primarily evaluated on the Rotterdam Study because of its complete follow-up. Deep survival models trained using federated learning achieved higher predictive performance than models trained locally without federation. For the Rotterdam Study, the C-statistic increased from 0.728 (95% CI: 0.717-0.739) to 0.739 (95% CI: 0.728-0.749). For Lifelines, the C-statistic increased from 0.783 (95% CI: 0.775-0.791) to 0.787 (95% CI: 0.780-0.792). These findings suggest that federated deep learning across heterogeneous cohorts can improve cardiovascular disease risk prediction while preserving the privacy of individual-level patient data.
