Key result
Stacking ensemble learning outperforms base classifiers for predicting heart failure mortality across all performance metrics.
Why the study?
The correlation between the inducement of heart failure and the incidence of heart failure requires further study, and data mining techniques can improve medical data analysis for heart failure prediction.
A Stacking-based ensemble learning algorithm improves the prediction of mortality in heart failure compared to individual base classifiers.
May improve HF mortality prediction; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
Heart failure is a syndrome of cardiac circulation disorder. Due to the dysfunction of the systolic function or diastolic function of the heart, the venous blood volume cannot be fully discharged from the heart, resulting in blood stasis in the venous system and insufficient perfusion in the arterial system. The symptoms of this disorder are concentrated in pulmonary congestion and vena cava congestion. The correlation between the inducement of heart failure and the incidence of heart failure is a subject that needs to be studied in the medical field. In recent years, with the development of data mining technology, more and more analytical models and algorithms have been applied in the medical field, which greatly improve the efficiency of medical data analysis and enable medical workers to cure diseases better. In this study, an ensemble learning model is applied to analyze the data of heart failure. First, the data is preprocessed and normalized, and features that are not associated with death rate of heart failure are removed. Secondly, multiple base classifiers are trained and compared. Finally, the competent base classifiers are selected and integrated with the Stacking-based ensemble learning algorithm for final classification. Comparative analysis showed that the prediction results of ensemble model are better than that of base classifiers in evaluation indexes such as accuracy, precision, AUC, Balanced accuracy and F1-score for the heart failure data.

Xia et al. (2023) studied Heart failure. Stacking-based ensemble learning algorithm vs. Base classifiers was evaluated on Prediction of heart failure death rate (accuracy, precision, AUC, balanced accuracy, F1-score). A Stacking-based ensemble learning model outperformed base classifiers in predicting heart failure death rate across metrics including accuracy, precision, AUC, balanced accuracy, and F1-score.
