Abstract

Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a prevalent condition among chest pain patients, and accurate prediction of the disease is crucial to ensure timely interventions and improve patient outcomes. We aim to elaborate a prediction model for CAD in chest pain patients using machine learning approaches. A retrospective analysis was performed using electronic health records of patients who presented with chest pain at seven hospitals. A total of 8474 patients were included in the study, where 63.25% were diagnosed with CAD. The data included demographic information, medical history, and laboratory results. Machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, CatBoost, XGBoosting, Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient, AdaBoost, Ridge Classifier, Linear Discriminant, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, SVM, Quadratic Discriminant, K Neighbors, Naive Bayes, and Dummy Classifier were trained and evaluated to predict the presence of CAD.The prediction model achieved an overall accuracy of 0.766 in identifying CAD in chest pain patients. The sensitivity and precision were 0.938 and 0.746, respectively. Important predictors for CAD included age, pulse rate, monocyte, and red cell distribution width SD. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting showed the best performance (area under the receiver operating characteristics, AUROC, 0.820, and 95% CI, 0.801–0.839) Additionally, the model demonstrated robust performance in the validation group. This study successfully developed and validated a prediction model for CAD in chest pain patients using machine learning techniques. The model exhibited good predictive ability and could aid in the early identification of CAD in clinical practice, potentially leading to appropriate interventions and improved patient outcomes.

Introduction The coronary arteries transport blood to the heart muscle and supply it with the necessary ingredients for its function. The term 'coronary artery disease (CAD)' describes the narrowing of these arteries caused by the accumulation of atherosclerotic material in their lumen. This stenosis results in inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle, especially in situations where it has increased needs, leading to myocardial ischemia [ 1 ] . Atherosclerotic material is a soft, fatty substance that forms on the inner surface of arteries through interactions with blood elements (cells and coagulation factors) and fats carried by the blood. Over time, atherosclerotic plaque calcifies and hardens [ 2 , 3 ] . Given its high incidence, hospitalization rates, disability, and mortality rates, the early detection of CAD holds paramount significance [ 4 , 5 ] . In the assessment of patients with chest pain, the determination of coronary artery disease (CAD) probability is a critical aspect of clinical practice. Traditional diagnostic modalities for CAD encompass clinical symptoms and signs, electrocardiography, blood tests, echocardiography, nuclear imaging, and coronary angiography. Each method offers distinct advantages and drawbacks in terms of accuracy and suitability for different scenarios [ 6 – 8 ] . To this end, ESC guidelines advocate for evaluating CAD probability based on age, gender, and symptoms, utilizing the updated Diamond–Forrester (D-F) prediction model [ 9 , 10 ] . Subsequently, pre-test probabilities are utilized to determine whether invasive angiography, non-invasive testing, or no further assessment is warranted [ 11 ] . ACC/AHA guidelines, on the other hand, suggest integrating risk factors alongside a combination of the D-F and CASS registry prediction models [ 12 ] . Meanwhile, recent NICE guidelines propose routine evaluation using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) solely for patients exhibiting atypical or typical angina symptoms [ 13 ] . However, recent studies indicate limitations in the predictive performance of traditional CAD models, particularly concerning obstructive CAD [ 14 – 16 ] . Moreover, these models often fail to comprehensively reflect the regulation status of risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and lipid abnormalities [ 14 – 16 ] . In the realm of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk prediction models, there has been a proliferation of research efforts. For instance, [Xu ZJ et al., 2018] [ 17 ] employed logistic regression to establish a prediction score and protocol for the preoperative prediction of significant CAD in patients with rheumatic valvular heart disease. Another notable study conducted by [Andrikou, Ioannis, et al., 2018] [ 18 ] utilized the multivariate Cox regression model to determine the role of serum uric acid (SUA) in cardiovascular risk prediction. Additionally, [Cheng, Yuan, et al., 2023] [ 19 ] verify the association between various inflammatory indicators and ICU mortality by multivariate Logistic regression analysis and Cox proportional hazards model. Another subset of research harnesses machine learning models, which leverage large-scale data processing and complex algorithms to identify potential nonlinear relationships and novel predictive factors, such as [Chen Wang et al., 2021] [ 20 ] construct and validate a machine learning model to predict the risk of CAD based on conventional risk factors and lab test data and [Ali Garavand et al., 2022] [ 21 ] compared the performances of different ML algorithms to assess their effectiveness in developing a model for early CAD diagnosis based on clinical examination features. This descriptive study involved analyzing 303 records. However, these studies were limited by small sample sizes, lack of multicenter data, and absence of external validation. Additionally, there is a dearth of dedicated prediction models for chest pain patients in the literature, highlighting an existing gap in research. To overcome these limitations, we propose a new approach that integrates ML algorithms with the Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) framework. This integration aims to create an interpretable and efficient risk prediction model that is specifically designed to assess factors contributing to CAD diagnosis in patients presenting with chest pain. ML is in general superior when handling many variables—especially if there are complex interactions between these variables. While better suited for handling complex datasets, ML approaches often sacrifice interpretability relative to standard statistics [ 22 ] , posing challenges for clinical decision-making. The SHAP framework is a valuable tool for explaining the variables that positively or negatively impact predictive outcomes. [ 23 ] . By combining ML algorithms with the SHAP framework, our model aims to provide clinicians with a better understanding of the reasons behind predictions. This increased interpretability can assist in evaluating disease severity, enabling more informed clinical decisions, and maximizing opportunities for early intervention in patients with chest pain. This innovative approach aims to bridge the gap between advanced predictive modeling and the practical needs of healthcare professionals. It enhances the clinical utility of CAD risk assessment in chest pain patients. 2. Methods 2.1. Research population and data sources Data were obtained from the Medical Big Data Platform of the Medical Data Research Institute of Chongqing Medical University, and patients with chest pain were screened from the database. The study includes patients admitted for chest pain from January 1, 2012, to June 30, 2023. Ethical approval was obtained from The Ethics Committee of ChongQing Medical University(Ethics Number: 2023044). As a retrospective study, informed consent was waived by The Ethics Committee of ChongQing Medical University. The research design follows the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) guidelines. 2.2. Inclusion and exclusion criteria Inclusion Criteria: (1) Cases admitted from January 1, 2012, to May 31, 2023. (2) Presence of chest pain symptoms. Exclusion Criteria: (1) Previously diagnosed with coronary artery disease. (2) History of coronary stent implantation. 2.3. Outcome The central outcome of this study revolves around the definitive diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), including Acute Coronary Syndromes, unstable or stable angina pectoris, and acute myocardial infarction, as defined by the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision(ICD-10) codes I20-I25. 2.4. Feature selection and data preprocessing Based on relevant research and clinical accessibility, we compiled a dataset encompassing 45 clinical features and predictive factors associated with CAD. These variables include demographic information such as age and gender, comorbidities like hypertension and diabetes, as well as laboratory test indicators including Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C), and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C). All data for the included variables were extracted from the electronic health records of hospitalized patients. The proportions of missing data for all features were less than 30% (Table S1). For features with missing values, we employed the weighted k-nearest neighbors imputation (KNNimpute) method. The fundamental principle of KNNimpute involves identifying K samples in the dataset with Euclidean distances close to the missing values and subsequently utilizing the weighted average of these K samples as the estimated value for the missing data [24] . Feature selection was conducted using the recursive feature elimination algorithm (RFE) based on CatBoost, coupled with 5-fold cross-validation (CV). The core idea of RFE is to construct a model, select the best features, and then iterate through the remaining features until all features have been traversed [25] . 2.5. Model development, evaluation, validation, and interpretation This study utilized data from six medical centers, with one center designated for external validation and the remaining five centers allocated for model development and validation. A stratified random sampling approach was employed to randomly partition the dataset into a training set (70% of subjects) and a validation set (30% of subjects). The former was utilized for the development of machine learning models, while the latter was employed to assess the predictive performance of the models. The study systematically compared the performance of 15 machine learning algorithms with hyperparameter optimization to identify candidate algorithms for predicting CAD in chest pain patients. The selection process was based on the area under the ROC curve (AUC) and accuracy metrics, with logistic regression serving as the baseline model for comparison. The candidate algorithm selection process utilized the sklearn (version 1.2.2) and PyCaret (version 3.2.0) packages. Scikit-learn is a concise yet powerful Python library for machine learning [26] , while PyCaret is a low-code machine learning package designed to simplify model deployment within a user-friendly Python environment [27, 28] . To address the imbalance between positive and negative samples, a preprocessing step involving random undersampling combined with Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) [29] was applied to the training set. This technique aimed to rectify the imbalance issue in the dataset by addressing both overrepresentation and underrepresentation of positive and negative samples, respectively. In the training set performance metrics including AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and F1 score were computed on the validation set to assess and compare model performance, and Bootstrap resampling was applied to calculate a 95% confidence interval for the AUC. The selection of the optimal predictive model was based on these metrics, Furthermore, the performance of the five predictive models were evaluated in the external validation set by calculating AUC, accuracy, sensitivity,, precision, and F1 score. Lastly, the SHAP (version 0.43.0) framework was utilized to explain the predictions of the best model. SHAP, proposed by Lundberg and Lee, provides a unified framework for interpreting machine learning predictions by assigning an importance value to each feature for a specific prediction. It represents a novel approach to interpreting various black-box machine learning models, and its interpretability performance has been previously validated [30] . 2.6. Statistical analysis All analyses and computations were conducted using Python v3.9.13 and R v4.1.2. This study conducted a comparative analysis of baseline characteristics among chest pain patients in the CAD and non-CAD groups. Categorical variables were presented as frequency (percentage), and intergroup comparisons were executed using the chi-square test. Continuous variables were reported as median (median ± interquartile range). For continuous variables with a normal distribution, the t-test was applied, while the Mann-Whitney U test was employed for those with a skewed distribution. Statistical significance was established at P < 0.05 3. Results 3.1. Patient Characteristics A total of 8474 patients were enrolled in the study, with 6562 of these cases being used for machine learning training and internal validation. The specific selection process is shown in Fig. S1. The main characteristics of patients in the training and internal validation group, are presented in Table 1. Median age of patients with CAD in the training and internal validation groups is 67 (59 -75) years, higher than that of patients without CAD, who are 58 (45-69) years. 3,100 (40.0%) internal-validated patients were female, whereas 613 (37.1%) external-validated patients were female. Table 2 presents a comparison of the main characteristics of patients between the model set and the external validation groups. The median age of patients in the model set is 64 (53-74) years, whereas in the external validation group, it is 65 (54-73) years. The proportion of female patients is 40.0% (2628 patients) in the model set, while in the external validation group, it is 36.0% (689 patients).

Risk factors The highest performance point was 40 as estimated by CatBoost-based RFE with 5-fold cross-validation (CV) (Fig.S2). However, upon further examination, we selected 21 variables as the optimal point. This decision was based on the fact that the model's performance at 21 variables was nearly identical to that at 40 variables, offering a more parsimonious model with minimal loss in accuracy. 3.3. Candidate algorithm screening The results of 15 algorithms constructed using the scikit-learn package are presented in Table S2. Based on the model's accuracy and AUC, the top-performing four algorithms (with accuracy > 0.753 and AUC > 0.805) selected for constructing the CAD prediction model for chest pain patients are Random Forest, CatBoost, XGBoost, and Gradient Boosting Classifier. In this study, the traditional Logistic Regression is chosen as the baseline for model comparison. 3.4. Prediction effects of different models The corresponding ROC curves for the 5 models were shown in Fig.1. The Random Forest model had the largest AUC of 0.829(95% CI: 0.810–0.848). The AUCs of CatBoost, XGBoost, Gradient Boosting, and Logistic were 0.816 (95% CI: 0.794–0.836), 0.820 (95% CI: 0.801–0.839), 0.817 (95% CI: 0.800–0.836), 0.736(95% CI: 0.711–0.758), respectively. The accuracy, sensitivity, precision, and F1 scores of the 5 models were also calculated (Table 3) to comprehensively evaluate the performance of each model. The AUC of the XGBoost model (0.820 was second only to random forest (0.829), and it had the highest sensitivity (0.938) and the F1 score (0.841) compared with the other 4 models. Table 3.

Our results showed that although the predictive power of the four prediction models declined slightly in external validation, they maintained good discriminative power in the XGBoost model, with an ROC-AUC of 0.705, indicating good accuracy in distinguishing patients with and without CAD (Figure 2). In addition, the model shows good accuracy and calibration, suggesting accurate risk estimation(Table 4). These findings suggest that our machine learning-based prediction model for CAD retains its predictive ability in an external patient population, underscoring its potential utility in real-world clinical settings. Table 4 presents the performance of five predictive models. XGBoost achieved the highest Accuracy (0.763), Sensitivity (0.931) and F1 score (0.845), indicating its superior ability to identify true positive cases and maintain a balance between Precision and Sensitivity. Although CatBoost showed the highest AUC (0.786) and strong Precision (0.809), its overall performance did not surpass XGBoost when considering the critical balance between Sensitivity and Precision. The AUC of XGBoost was 0.763, which, although not the highest, complements its high Sensitivity and F1 score, reinforcing its reliability as a robust predictive model.

Model interpretation The feature importance rankings of the 4 prediction models are shown in Fig. 2, including Random Forest (A),Gradient Boosting(B), XGBoost (C), and CatBoost (D). The importance scores were calculated using the built-in attributes in different ML algorithms. In these 4 models, the risk factors most associated with CAD in chest pain patients were Age;Mono; and HDL-C, AST, and ALT. This study illustrated how some characteristics influenced CAD in chest pain patients by incorporating the SHAP framework. Fig. 3A shows the risk factors evaluated using the mean absolute SHAP value in the XGBoost prediction model. Fig. 3B shows the features that impact the outcome. In each important feature row, different color dots represented the final impact of the feature on the outcome, where the red dots represented high-risk value and the blue represented low-risk value. Older age and higher Mono, RDW-SD, AST, and TG were associated with a higher predicted probability of CAD in chest pain patients. The SHAP values indicate the prediction-related features of individual patients and the contribution of each feature to the prediction of prevalence. This study presented a sample of 2 individual predictions, with the red bars showing that the listed characteristics increase the risk of CAD in chest pain patients and the blue bars showing that the listed characteristics decrease the risk of CAD. Fig. 3C shows a 60-year-old patient, whose Pulse Rate, Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, and Triglycerides were 81, 2.51 mmol/L, and 1.14 mmol/L, respectively. The SHAP value was -1.67. Fig. 3D is a 89-year-old patient, whose Albumin, Pulse Rate, and High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol were 38.2 g/L, 55 , and 0.73 mmol/L, respectively. The SHAP value was 6.42. 4. Discussion In this study, we constructed and validated an interpretable ML-based prediction model to predict CAD in chest pain patients. Among the five ML prediction models, the XGBoost model showed the best performance during internal validation, with an AUC of 0.820 (0.801–0.839), Sensitivity of 0.938, and an F1 score of 0.831, surpassing the performance of the other four models. Subsequently, during external validation, the XGBoost model exhibited commendable performance with an AUC of 0.763, Sensitivity of 0.931, and an F1 score of 0.845, highlighting its robustness when applied to an independent dataset. While there was a general decline in performance metrics during external validation, which is expected due to the challenges of generalizing to new data, XGBoost retained its predictive power and balance between Precision and Sensitivity better than the other models. This consistent performance across both internal and external validations underscores XGBoost's reliability and effectiveness as the best choice for predicting coronary artery disease in chest pain patients. In recent studies, XGBoost has been commonly used to build predictive models and has shown excellent discriminative power in many studies. Ding, LanPing et al. [31] developed A ML-based approach, showed optimum performance and might help predict HTPR on clopidogrel after PCI and guide clinical decision-making using 9 ML algorithms, and the XGBoost showed the best performance, with an AUC of 0.82, a precision of 0.80, a recall of 0.44, an F1 score of 0.57, and an accuracy of 0.87. Meanwhile, the importance of features based on SHAP values in this study demonstrated that the ML approach can explain key features of CAD in chest pain patients, as well as that visualization of SHAP summary plots and force maps of the XGBoost model can allow clinicians to visualize and understand key features. In general, the contributions of this study are as follows: first, we utilized a comprehensive set of 15 machine learning models and subsequently selected the most effective four for external validation. Other advanced ML knowledge was used in this study, such as missing value filling based on KNN, feature selection based on RFECV, and the random undersampling with SMOTE oversampling technique to address sample imbalance. The results showed that these methods can effectively improve the prediction of the risk of CAD in chest pain patients. Second, it is always challenging to correctly interpret the large arrays of clinical data of predictive models constructed based on ML and visually present the predicted results to clinicians. Therefore, this study applied the SHAP framework to the XGBoost model “black-box” tree integration model to achieve optimal prediction and interpretability. It also helps clinicians better understand the decision-making process of prediction models and facilitates the use of prediction results, instead of blindly trusting the results of algorithms. Furthermore, the predictive model both took into account the key risk factors and visually explained to clinicians the characteristics that were likely to contribute to a higher (or lower) risk of CAD in chest pain patients. As shown in Fig. 3 B, the higher the concentration of age, monocyte count, Aspartate Aminotransferase, and triglyceride level in chest pain patients, the greater the risk of CAD. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme primarily found in the liver and heart, playing a crucial role in amino acid metabolism. AST levels are independently positively associated with the risk and severity of premature CAD, suggesting that these enzymes could serve as surrogate markers for cardiovascular risk in this specific group of patients [32] . Recent studies have also indicated that peripheral monocyte count above 0.45 k/uL may be considered as a predictor of significant CAD in symptomatic patients with chronic coronary syndrome [33] . A higher triglyceride level index may be independently associated with a higher incidence of ASCVDs, CAD, and stroke in people without ASCVDs at baseline [34] . Although this study has several strengths, it also suffers from several limitations. Firstly, the observed decrease in the model's performance during external validation could potentially be attributed to the utilization of data from multiple hospitals, which introduces inherent variations in data collection protocols across different institutions. These variations may have led to disparities in the distribution and characteristics of data between the internal and external validation datasets, thereby impacting the model's ability to generalize effectively beyond the training dataset. As information technology advances and policies progress, data standardization across institutions is expected to improve, which would enhance the model's generalizability and reproducibility in real-world healthcare applications. Despite these challenges, the insights gained from internal validation underscore the potential clinical utility of the model and highlight the importance of ongoing efforts to refine predictive models for accurate and reliable clinical decision-making. Secondly, the absence of image data, particularly key echocardiographic parameters unavailable from the Chongqing Medical University Medical Data Platform, represents a limitation. Future work could explore incorporating multimodal data for a more comprehensive analysis. Additionally, the reliance on laboratory test indicators and comorbidities as the primary variables in our study, although essential for ensuring the prediction model's performance and identifying risk factors, resulted in 21 features. This abundance of features may pose challenges in the practical application of the model within a clinical setting. Following this, we further recommend integrating the model into hospital information systems rather than requiring healthcare personnel to independently utilize it. By seamlessly integrating the model into existing HIS infrastructure, healthcare providers can access predictive insights directly within their workflow, without the need for additional training or expertise in data analysis. Moreover, despite these limitations, our model holds promise for various practical applications. For instance, it could serve as a valuable tool for coronary artery disease (CAD) screening in primary care settings and aid in auxiliary diagnosis. Leveraging clinical data from patients, the model can efficiently identify high-risk individuals, offer decision support for clinicians in selecting appropriate diagnostic procedures, and guide the formulation of personalized treatment plans. Particularly in resource-constrained medical environments, the application of our model can assist healthcare providers in optimizing the use of limited resources, thereby improving early CAD detection rates and treatment outcomes. Although further research and validation are warranted, we remain optimistic about the potential clinical utility of our model and anticipate that future developments will validate its effectiveness and reliability in real-world clinical settings. 5. Conclusion In this study, we successfully developed an advanced XGBoosting model for predicting the risk of CAD in individuals experiencing chest pain. Our model demonstrated superior performance compared with traditional approaches. Notably, age, monocyte count, Aspartate Aminotransferase, and triglyceride level emerged as significant risk factors associated with CAD in chest pain patients. The identification of these key factors not only enhances our understanding of the contributors to CAD but also provides valuable insights for more targeted interventions and risk management strategies in clinical settings. As we conclude, this research serves as a foundational step, laying the groundwork for future investigations that seek to further enhance the precision and efficacy of predicting early CAD risk in individuals presenting with chest pain. The findings presented here underscore the potential for continuous advancements in predictive modeling, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes and informed clinical decision-making.

This descriptive study involved analyzing 303 records. However, these studies were limited by small sample sizes, lack of multicenter data, and absence of external validation.

Discussion","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn this study, we constructed and validated an interpretable ML-based prediction model to predict CAD in chest pain patients. Among the five ML prediction models, the XGBoost model showed the best performance during internal validation, with an AUC of 0.820 (0.801–0.839), Sensitivity of 0.938, and an F1 score of 0.831, surpassing the performance of the other four models.\u0026nbsp;Subsequently, during external validation, the XGBoost model exhibited commendable performance with an AUC of 0.763, Sensitivity of 0.931, and an F1 score of 0.845, highlighting its robustness when applied to an independent dataset. While there was a general decline in performance metrics during external validation, which is expected due to the challenges of generalizing to new data, XGBoost retained its predictive power and balance between Precision and Sensitivity better than the other models. This consistent performance across both internal and external validations underscores XGBoost's reliability and effectiveness as the best choice for predicting coronary artery disease in chest pain patients.\u0026nbsp;In recent studies, XGBoost\u0026nbsp;has been commonly used to build predictive models and has shown excellent discriminative power in many studies.\u0026nbsp;Ding, LanPing\u0026nbsp;et\u0026nbsp;al.\u003csup\u003e[31]\u003c/sup\u003e developed A ML-based approach, showed optimum performance and might help predict HTPR on clopidogrel after PCI and guide clinical decision-making using\u0026nbsp;9\u0026nbsp;ML algorithms, and the\u0026nbsp;XGBoost\u0026nbsp;showed the best performance, with an AUC of 0.82, a precision of 0.80, a recall of 0.44, an F1 score of 0.57, and an accuracy of 0.87. Meanwhile, the importance of features based on SHAP values in this study demonstrated that the ML approach can explain key features of\u0026nbsp;CAD in chest pain patients,\u0026nbsp;as well as that visualization of SHAP summary plots and force maps of the\u0026nbsp;XGBoost model\u0026nbsp;can allow clinicians to visualize and understand key features.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, the contributions of this study are as follows: first, we utilized a comprehensive set of 15 machine learning models and subsequently selected the most effective\u0026nbsp;four\u0026nbsp;for external validation. Other advanced ML knowledge was used in this study, such as missing value filling based on KNN, feature selection based on RFECV, and the random undersampling with SMOTE oversampling technique to address sample imbalance. The results showed that these methods can effectively improve the prediction of the risk of\u0026nbsp;CAD in chest pain patients.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, it is always challenging to correctly interpret the large arrays of clinical data of predictive models constructed based on ML and visually present the predicted results to clinicians. Therefore, this study applied the SHAP framework to the\u0026nbsp;XGBoost model\u0026nbsp;“black-box” tree integration model to achieve optimal prediction and interpretability. It also helps clinicians better understand the decision-making process of prediction models and facilitates the use of prediction results, instead of blindly trusting the results of algorithms. Furthermore, the predictive model both took into account the key risk factors and visually explained to clinicians the characteristics that were likely to contribute to a higher (or lower) risk of\u0026nbsp;CAD in chest pain patients. As shown in\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\"http://www-sciencedirect-com-s.swebvpn.cqmu.edu.cn:8118/science/article/pii/S0939475323002338?via=ihub#fig4\"\u003eFig. 3\u003c/a\u003eB, the higher the concentration of\u0026nbsp;age,\u0026nbsp;monocyte\u0026nbsp;count,\u0026nbsp;Aspartate Aminotransferase,\u0026nbsp;and triglyceride level\u0026nbsp;in chest pain patients, the greater the risk of\u0026nbsp;CAD.\u0026nbsp;Aspartate Aminotransferase\u0026nbsp;(AST) is an enzyme primarily found in the liver and heart, playing a crucial role in amino acid metabolism. AST levels are independently positively associated with the risk and severity of premature CAD, suggesting that these enzymes could serve as surrogate markers for cardiovascular risk in this specific group of patients\u003csup\u003e[32]\u003c/sup\u003e. Recent studies have also indicated\u0026nbsp;that\u0026nbsp;peripheral monocyte count above 0.45 k/uL may be considered as a predictor of significant CAD in symptomatic patients with chronic coronary syndrome\u003csup\u003e[33]\u003c/sup\u003e. A higher\u0026nbsp;triglyceride level\u0026nbsp;index may be independently associated with a higher incidence of ASCVDs, CAD, and stroke in people without ASCVDs at baseline\u003csup\u003e[34]\u003c/sup\u003e.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough this study has several strengths, it also suffers from several limitations. Firstly, the observed decrease in the model's performance during external validation could potentially be attributed to the utilization of data from multiple hospitals, which introduces inherent variations in data collection protocols across different institutions. These variations may have led to disparities in the distribution and characteristics of data between the internal and external validation datasets, thereby impacting the model's ability to generalize effectively beyond the training dataset. As information technology advances and policies progress, data standardization across institutions is expected to improve, which would enhance the model's generalizability and reproducibility in real-world healthcare applications. Despite these challenges, the insights gained from internal validation underscore the potential clinical utility of the model and highlight the importance of ongoing efforts to refine predictive models for accurate and reliable clinical decision-making.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecondly, the absence of image data, particularly key echocardiographic parameters unavailable from the Chongqing Medical University Medical Data Platform, represents a limitation. Future work could explore incorporating multimodal data for a more comprehensive analysis.\u0026nbsp;Additionally, the reliance on laboratory test indicators and comorbidities as the primary variables in our study, although essential for ensuring the prediction model's performance and identifying risk factors, resulted in\u0026nbsp;21\u0026nbsp;features. This abundance of features may pose challenges in the practical application of the model within a clinical setting.\u0026nbsp;Following\u0026nbsp;this, we further recommend integrating the model into hospital information systems\u0026nbsp;rather than requiring healthcare personnel to independently utilize it. By seamlessly integrating the model into existing HIS infrastructure, healthcare providers can access predictive insights directly within their workflow, without the need for additional training or expertise in data analysis.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoreover, despite these limitations, our model holds promise for various practical applications. For instance, it could serve as a valuable tool for coronary artery disease (CAD) screening in primary care settings and aid in auxiliary diagnosis. Leveraging clinical data from patients, the model can efficiently identify high-risk individuals, offer decision support for clinicians in selecting appropriate diagnostic procedures, and guide the formulation of personalized treatment plans. Particularly in resource-constrained medical environments, the application of our model can assist healthcare providers in optimizing the use of limited resources, thereby improving early CAD detection rates and treatment outcomes. Although further research and validation are warranted, we remain optimistic about the potential clinical utility of our model and anticipate that future developments will validate its effectiveness and reliability in real-world clinical settings.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"5. Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn this study, we successfully developed an advanced XGBoosting model for predicting the risk of CAD in individuals experiencing chest pain.

The identification of these key factors not only enhances our understanding of the contributors to CAD but also provides valuable insights for more targeted interventions and risk management strategies in clinical settings. As we conclude, this research serves as a foundational step, laying the groundwork for future investigations that seek to further enhance the precision and efficacy of predicting early CAD risk in individuals presenting with chest pain.

We aim to elaborate a prediction model for CAD in chest pain patients using machine learning approaches. A retrospective analysis was performed using electronic health records of patients who presented with chest pain at seven hospitals. A total of 8474 patients were included in the study, where 63.25% were diagnosed with CAD. The data included demographic information, medical history, and laboratory results. Machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest, CatBoost, XGBoosting, Gradient Boosting, Light Gradient, AdaBoost, Ridge Classifier, Linear Discriminant, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, SVM, Quadratic Discriminant, K Neighbors, Naive Bayes, and Dummy Classifier were trained and evaluated to predict the presence of CAD.The prediction model achieved an overall accuracy of 0.766 in identifying CAD in chest pain patients. The sensitivity and precision were 0.938 and 0.746, respectively. Important predictors for CAD included age, pulse rate, monocyte, and red cell distribution width SD. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting showed the best performance (area under the receiver operating characteristics, AUROC, 0.820, and 95% CI, 0.801\u0026ndash;0.839) Additionally, the model demonstrated robust performance in the validation group. This study successfully developed and validated a prediction model for CAD in chest pain patients using machine learning techniques. The model exhibited good predictive ability and could aid in the early identification of CAD in clinical practice, potentially leading to appropriate interventions and improved patient outcomes.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Development and Validation of a Prediction Model for Coronary Artery Disease in Chest Pain Patients: A Real-World Multicenter Study Based on Machine Learning","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-11-26 13:53:11","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-5234204/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"3f66914f-22a8-4026-94b4-2ab3139f0460","owner":[],"postedDate":"November 26th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":39900373,"name":"Health sciences/Diseases/Cardiovascular diseases"},{"id":39900374,"name":"Health sciences/Risk factors"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-11-07T10:54:02+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2024-11-26 13:53:11","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-5234204","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-5234204","identity":"rs-5234204","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"qtupq5eGEP_6zYnWcrvyt","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
