    Restless legs syndrome (RLS) significantly impairs sleep quality and quality of life in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing dialysis.

  • 2

    A machine learning-based classification model was developed to identify RLS status in 396 ESRD patients, utilizing various algorithms.

  • 3

    The Support Vector Machine (SVM) model showed optimal performance with an AUC of 0.791 and accuracy of 0.761 in identifying RLS.

  • 4

    Key variables influencing RLS included β2-microglobulin, hemoglobin, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and alcohol consumption.

  • 5

    The study highlights the need for prospective validation of the SVM model to facilitate RLS screening and improve clinical decision-making.
