Objective:

To develop and validate a machine learning-based predictive model for in-hospital mortality risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by diabetes mellitus, addressing a critical gap in clinical risk assessment.

Key Findings:
  • Seven predictors were identified: heart rate, neutrophil count, monocyte count, NLR, serum albumin, total bilirubin, and urea nitrogen, which are critical for assessing mortality risk.
  • The XGBoost-based model achieved the highest AUC and was selected as the preferred model, indicating its superior predictive capability.
  • The SHAP method enhanced the interpretability and clinical credibility of the mortality prediction model, facilitating its integration into clinical practice.
Interpretation:

The developed machine learning models can aid in identifying high-risk patients and implementing early intervention measures, potentially reducing in-hospital mortality rates.

Limitations:
  • The model is limited to clinical settings similar to the study cohorts and is not intended for broad clinical application, which may affect its generalizability.
Conclusion:

Interpretable machine learning models have been developed to predict in-hospital mortality risk in AMI patients with DM, providing insights into the influence of various features on prediction outcomes and highlighting the need for further validation in diverse clinical settings.
