The invention discloses a
necrotizing enterocolitis prediction method based on
machine learning. The method comprises the following steps: collecting multi-source clinical data of neonatal cases; carrying out systematic data preprocessing on all the collected data; carrying out
feature engineering and
variable screening by adopting a plurality of
feature selection algorithms, and randomly dividing finally obtained
feature data into a
training set and a
test set according to a proportion; and after model training is completed, performance
verification is carried out on each candidate model by adopting an independent
test set, and comprehensive evaluation is carried out in combination with multiple indexes derived from the classification
confusion matrix. According to the method, the problem of limited
feature dimension of a traditional model can be broken through, and the information
utilization rate is improved through multi-
modal data fusion; the method can solve the problem that a traditional
linear model is difficult to capture a nonlinear relation between variables, achieves the interaction recognition between complex features, provides an intelligent auxiliary decision-making tool for
intensive care of newborns, reduces the
disease progress risk, and reduces the
case fatality rate and the complication occurrence rate.
