A dynamic weighted ensemble learning framework for cardiovascular risk prediction in type 2 diabetes: a comparative study with SHAP-based interpretability
摘要
Diabetes mellitus is one of the major issues in global public health and its cardiovascular complications are the primary cause of death in patients. Traditional risk assessment models, such as the Framingham Risk Score and the UKPDS Risk Engine, are built primarily on linear hypotheses, so they fail to capture complex non-linear relationships and show poor generalization across different populations. In this study, a multi-index dynamic weighted ensemble model was built by innovatively integrating TCM tongue diagnosis indexes with modern medical biomarkers. Specifically, adopting a cross-sectional design, this study initially enrolled 3,111 Type 2 diabetes patients, of which 2,895 were included in the final analysis after excluding 216 participants with excessive missing data (
