Evaluation of coronary heart disease risk prediction based on simple physical examination parameters by machine learning model: a retrospective cohort model development and validation study
To develop and externally validate a coronary heart disease (CHD) risk model from routine clinical indicators and identify key predictors, emphasizing the significance of these predictors in clinical settings.
Key Findings:
Internal validation yielded AUC 0.977, accuracy 0.942, and F1 score 0.944.
External validation achieved AUC 0.929 and accuracy 0.885.
Key predictors identified include systolic blood pressure, age, total cholesterol, and fasting glucose.
Interpretation:
The model demonstrates strong discrimination for CHD risk and generalizes well to an external cohort, providing a clinically interpretable tool for cardiovascular risk assessment, which is crucial for improving patient outcomes.
Limitations:
The study relies on retrospective data, which may introduce biases that affect the findings.
External validation cohort size is relatively small (n = 200), which may limit the robustness of the results.
Potential limitations in the generalizability of findings across diverse populations should be considered.
Conclusion:
The developed model effectively predicts CHD risk using routine clinical measures, enhancing clinical decision-making and risk assessment, which is vital for improving patient care.
