The invention relates to a myocardial injury risk assessment decision-making method and system based on multi-model stacking deep learning, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining the data of three physiological indexes of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) and creatinekinase-MB) of a target population, carrying out Z-Scorestandardization preprocessing, and carrying out the Z-Scorestandardization preprocessing; and inputting the standard feature vector into a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model and an extreme gradient boost (XGBoost) model in parallel. The MLP model is used for extracting nonlinear abstract features, and the XGBoost model is used for capturing piecewise linear discrimination boundaries among the features. Then, prediction probabilities output by the two models are used as meta-features to be input into a logistic regression meta-learner, and a final risk assessment probability is calculated through weighted fusion. According to the method, a stacked ensemble learning mechanism is adopted, the advantages of a heterogeneous model are effectively fused, and the risk assessment accuracy and stability under the conditions of small samples and few indexes are remarkably improved.
