Study on influencing factors of age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index in patients with Alzheimer's disease based on machine learning model by Jian Ding, Jian Ding, Zheng Long, Yiming Liu, Min Wang

“…LASSO regression identified the following 11 features closely related to aCCI: age, respiratory rate, base excess, glucose, red blood cell distribution width (RDW), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), whole blood potassium, hematocrit (HCT), phosphate, creatinine, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH). The column chart constructed based on these feature factors enables intuitive prediction of patients with high aCCI probability, providing a convenient clinical tool.ConclusionThe results of this study indicate that the features screened by LASSO regression have the best predictive performance and can significantly improve the predictive ability of aCCI related comorbidities in AD patients. …”
