Development and verification of prediction models for preventing cardiovascular diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major causes of death worldwide. For improved accuracy of CVD prediction, risk classification was performed using national time-series health examination data. The data offers an opportunity to access deep learning (RNN-LSTM), which is widely known as an outstanding algorithm for analyzing time-series datasets. The objective of this study was to show the improved accuracy of deep learning by comparing the performance of a Cox hazard regression and RNN-LSTM based on survival analysis.

Methods and findings

We selected 361,239 subjects (age 40 to 79 years) with more than two health examination records from 2002-2006 using the National Health Insurance System-National Health Screening Cohort (NHIS-HEALS). The average number o
