The MAGGIC score was derived from a meta-analysis of 30 studies (n=39,372). It is often considered more robust than the Seattle Heart Failure Model because it was derived from a much larger and more diverse dataset that included HFpEF patients.

Pearls/Pitfalls
MAGGIC vs. Seattle
While the Seattle model is excellent for showing the impact of specific medications, MAGGIC is often preferred for its simplicity and its inclusion of HFpEF patients, who make up a significant portion of the modern heart failure population.
