RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Improved survival of patients after acute coronary syndromes, population growth, and overall life expectancy rise have led to a significant increase in the proportion of patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), creating a significant load on the entire healthcare system. The disease often progresses with the development of many complications while significantly increasing the likelihood of hospitalization. Developing and applying a machine learning model for predicting hospitalizations of patients with CAD to an inpatient medical facility will allow for close monitoring of high-risk patients, early preventive interventions, and optimized medical care. AIMS: Development and external validation of personalized models for predicting the preventable hospitalizations of patients with stable CAD and its complications using ML algorithms and data of real-world clinical practice. METHODS: 135,873 depersonalized electronic health records of 49,103 patients with stable CAD were included in the study. Anthropometric measurements, physical examination results, laboratory, instrumental, anamnestic, and socio-demographic data, widely used in routine medical practice, were considered as potential predictors, a total of 73 features. Logistic regression, decision tree-based methods including gradient boosting (AdaBoost, LightGBM, XGBoost, CatBoost) and bagging (RandomForest and ExtraTrees), discriminant analysis (LinearDiscriminant, QuadraticDiscriminant), and naive Bayes classifier were compared. External validation was performed on the data of a separate region. RESULTS: The best results and stability to external validation data were shown by the CatBoost model with an AUC of 0.875 (95% CI 0.865-0.885) for the internal testing and 0.872 (95% CI 0.856-0.886) for the external validation. The best model showed good performance evaluated through AUROC, Brier score and standardized net benefit (for the target NPV threshold) for the validation dataset that was only slightly similar to the train data. CONCLUSION: The metrics of the best model were superior to previously published studies. The results of external validation demonstrated the relative stability of the model to new data from another region that confirms the possibility of the model's application in real clinical practice.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized numerous industries, including medicine. In recent years, the integration of AI into medical practices has shown great promise in enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosing diseases, predicting patient outcomes, and personalizing treatment plans. This paper aims at the exploration of the AI-based medicine research using network approach and analysis of existing trends based on PubMed. Our findings are based on the results of PubMed search queries and analysis of the number of papers obtained by the different search queries. Our goal is to explore how are the AI-based methods used in healthcare research, which approaches and techniques are the most popular, and to discuss the potential reasoning behind the obtained results. Using analysis of the co-occurrence network constructed using VOSviewer software, we detected the main clusters of interest in AI-based healthcare research. Then, we proceeded with the thorough analysis of publication activity in various categories of medical AI research, including research on different AI-based methods applied to different types of medical data. We analyzed the results of query processing in the PubMed database over the past 5 years obtained via a specifically designed strategy for generating search queries based on the thorough selection of keywords from different categories of interest. We provide a comprehensive analysis of existing applications of AI-based methods to medical data of different modalities, including the context of various medical fields and specific diseases that carry the greatest danger to the human population.
