Abstract
We propose to use generalized additive models to fit the relationship between QT interval and RR (RR = 60/heart rate), and develop two new methods for correcting the QT for heart rate: the linear additive model and log-transformed linear additive model. The proposed methods are compared with six commonly used parametric models that were used in four clinical trial data sets and a simulated data set. The results show that the linear additive models provide the best fit for the vast majority of individual QT–RR profiles. Moreover, the QT correction formula derived from the linear additive model outperforms other correction methods.
