Why the study?
Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented through risk factor analysis, but feature selection across different models presents difficulties, particularly in small datasets.
Does a machine learning model integrating Cox proportional hazards and random forest models improve predictive accuracy for heart failure risk compared to human benchmarks?

May enhance heart failure risk stratification now; extends machine learning integration for cardiovascular survival modeling.
Cardiovascular disease is one of the more lethal diseases worldwide, and its main manifestations are myocardial infarction and heart rate failure. Fortunately, most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented to some extent through their risk factor analysis. In this paper, we propose a new feature selection scheme by integrating cox proportional hazards model and random forest models to explore the existing data experimentally. This paper integrates two types of models by a multiphase data fusion strategy in order to mitigate selection difficulties from different feature rankings, particularly in small circumstances. We also provide visualization techniques to improve the transparency, trustability, and interpretability. This scheme, combined with neural networks to construct a survival analysis model of heart failure, has two crucial achievements. First, models result statistical significance on features. Second models can help assess the impact of different factors on heart rate failure and predict future risk profiles, providing powerful new support for the prevention and treatment of heart failure. In the study of 299 patients, the feature selection scheme single out age, ejection fraction, and serum creatinine as relevant features, through which the model achieve a relatively high predictive accuracy with C=0.7544 (95% CI: 0.746S-0.7620). With a forementioned performance, this model vitally aids to clinicians with undetermined patient data characteristics. Furthermore, the model improves accuracy by about seventeen percent comparing to the human benchmark C = 0.59 (95% CI: 0.53-0.65), by about eighteen percent comparing to the two-dimensional model, and also has a better generalization ability comparing to the Multidimensional machine model.

Wu et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Heart failure (n=299). Machine learning model integrating Cox proportional hazards, random forests, and neural networks vs. Human benchmark was evaluated on Predictive accuracy (C-index) for heart failure survival (95% CI 0.746S-0.7620). A machine learning model integrating Cox proportional hazards, random forests, and neural networks achieved a predictive accuracy for heart failure survival of C=0.7544 (95% CI 0.746S-0.7620).
