Popis: | Prediabetes is a type of hyperglycemia in which patients have blood glucose levels above normal but below the threshold for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Prediabetic patients are considered to be at high risk for developing T2DM, but not all will eventually do so. Because it is difficult to identify which patients have an increased risk of developing T2DM, we developed a model of several clinical and laboratory features to predict the development of T2DM within a 2-year period. We used a supervised machine learning algorithm to identify at-risk patients from among 1647 obese, hypertensive patients. The study period began in 2005 and ended in 2018. We constrained data up to 2 years before the development of T2DM. Then, using a time series analysis with the features of every patient, we calculated one linear regression line and one slope per feature. Features were then included in a K-nearest neighbors classification model. Feature importance was assessed using the random forest algorithm. The K-nearest neighbors model accurately classified patients in 96% of cases, with a sensitivity of 99%, specificity of 78%, positive predictive value of 96%, and negative predictive value of 94%. The random forest algorithm selected the homeostatic model assessment-estimated insulin resistance, insulin levels, and body mass index as the most important factors, which in combination with KNN had an accuracy of 99% with a sensitivity of 99% and specificity of 97%. We built a prognostic model that accurately identified obese, hypertensive patients at risk for developing T2DM within a 2-year period. Clinicians may use machine learning approaches to better assess risk for T2DM and better manage hypertensive patients. Machine learning algorithms may help health care providers make more informed decisions. |
