VEGA ABASCAL, Jorge Baudilio; PIRIZ ASSA, Alberto Rubén y NAPOLES RIANO, Diego. A Predictive Model for Cardiovascular Disease based on Artificial Intelligence in Primary Health Care. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.3 Epub 30-Sep-2023. ISSN 1561-3038.
Introduction:
In Cuba and in the rest of the world, cardiovascular diseases are recognized as a major and growing public health problem, which causes high mortality.
Objective:
To design a predictive model to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease based on artificial intelligence techniques.
Methods:
The data source was a prospective cohort including 1633 patients, followed for 10 years. The data mining tool Weka was used and attribute selection techniques were employed to obtain a smaller subset of significant variables. To generate the models, the rule algorithm JRip and the meta-algorithm Attribute Selected Classifier were applied, using J48 and Multilayer Perceptron as classifiers. The obtained models were compared and the most used metrics for unbalanced classes were applied.
Results:
The most significant attribute was history of arterial hypertension, followed by high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high sensitivity c-reactive protein and systolic blood pressure; all the prediction rules were derived from these attributes. The algorithms were effective to generate the model. The best performance was obtained using the Multilayer Perceptron, with a true positive rate of 95.2% and an area under the ROC curve of 0.987 in the cross validation.
Conclusions:
A predictive model was designed using artificial intelligence techniques; it is a valuable resource oriented to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases in primary health care.
