Abstract

Aim: In this study, it is aimed to contribute to the artificial intelligence (AI) literature in the field of health and to the researchers who want to work in this field, by presenting the relevant theoretical infrastructure, with an application study on the estimation of heart failure mortality with ML classification algorithms.
Materials and Methods: In this study, ANN (artificial neural network), SVM (support vector machine), NB (naive bayes) classifier, KNN (k nearest neighbor), LR (logistic regression), DT (decision tree) and RF (random forest) algorithms, which are machine learning classification methods, were used to predict heart failure mortality. In order to increase the number of data, synthetic data derivation was applied. In addition, cross validation was applied to increase model accuracy. Model success was measured by confusion matrix and ROC AUC (Receiver Operating Characteristic, Area Under the Curve) score.
Results: In the practice study, it was determined that the risk factors for heart failure mortality were the duration of patient follow-up, ejection fraction, serum creatinine level and age of the patient. As a result of the application, 85.0% accuracy, 78.1% sensitivity, 88.2% specificity and 83.1% ROC AUC values were reached with Randım Forrest algorithm.
Discussion and Conclusion: In conclusion, it has been seen that the use of machine learning classification algorithms in the estimation of cardiac mortality has the potential to provide an important contribution to physicians as a decision support mechanism.
