PREDICTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE THROUGH LINEAR REGRESSION USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The surge in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) has become a global challenge with a steadily climbing trend of cardiovascular deaths from 12.1 million in 1990 to 18.6 million in 2019 [1, 2]. Risk prediction, a primary strategy in addressing this worldwide problem, has brought significant benefits to some developed countries through the improvement of the effectiveness of life intervention and reduction of economic burden [3, 4]. Therefore, risk prediction has been expected as an efficient way to achieve World Health Organization (WHO) goals for reducing CVD-related mortality by 25% by 2025, and some classic CVD prediction models (e.g., the Framingham [5] and SCORE [6], referred to as traditional models [T-Ms] in this study) has been incorporated into clinical guidelines by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) [7, 8].
