Predicting the onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD) for diabetic patients with aggregated longitudinal EMR data. by Neda Aminnejad, Michelle Greiver, Huaxiong Huang

“…Furthermore, we identify the most significant features for predicting CKD onset, including mean, minimum, and first quartile of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) during the observation year, along with variables such as diagnosis age and duration of hypertension, osteoarthritis, and diabetes, as well as levels of hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose (FBG). We also explored a refined model utilizing only these most significant features, which yields a slightly lower AUC of 0.86. …”
