Abstract

Objective To establish a prediction model for the risk evaluation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to guide the management and prevention of CKD. Methods A total of 1263 patients with CKD and 1948 patients without CKD admitted to the Tongde Hospital of the Zhejiang Province from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2018, were retrospectively analyzed. Spearman's correlation was used to analyze the relationship between CKD and laboratory parameters. XGBoost, random forest, Naive Bayes, support vector machine, and multivariate logistic regression algorithms were employed to establish prediction models for the risk evaluation of CKD. The accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of each model were compared. The new bidirectional encoder representations from transformers with light gradient boosting machine (MD-BERT-LGBM) model was used to process the unstructured data and transform it into researchable unstructured vectors, and the AUC was compared before and after processing. Results Differences in laboratory parameters between CKD and non-CKD patients were observed. The neutrophil ratio and white blood cell count were significantly associated with the occurrence of CKD. The XGBoost model demonstrated the best prediction effect (accuracy = 0.9088, precision = 0.9175, recall = 0.8244, F1 score = 0.8868, AUC = 0.8244), followed by the random forest model (accuracy = 0.9020, precision = 0.9318, recall = 0.7905, F1 score = 0.581, AUC = 0.9519). Comparatively, the predictions of the Naive Bayes and support vector machine models were inferior to those of the logistic regression model. The AUC of all models was improved to some extent after processing using the new MD-BERT-LGBM model. Conclusion The new MD-BERT-LGBM model with the inclusion of unstructured data has contributed to the higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the prediction models. Clinical features such as age, gender, urinary white blood cells, urinary red blood cells, thrombin time, serum creatinine, and total cholesterol were associated with CKD incidence.
