Prediction and verification of the effect of psoriasis on coronary heart disease based on artificial neural network

Abstract

Background and objectives: Psoriasis is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease. It is important for predicting the complications of coronary heart disease in patients with psoriasis. Methods: In this study, related cases were collected from the case system of Qingdao University, and commonly used laboratory indicators were extracted. Artificial neural network (ANN) and logistics regression analysis were used to learn to distinguish psoriasis patients, coronary heart disease patients, and psoriasis patients with coronary heart disease. We identified independent risk factors for coronary heart disease in psoriasis patients that exacerbate coronary heart disease symptoms in patients with psoriasis. Findings: Analysis shows that the accuracy of the ANN model was higher than 79%. It was determined that age, chlorinated, phosphorus, magnesium, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein and total cholesterol are independent risk factors for coronary heart disease in patients with psoriasis. Similarly, gender, age, chlorinated, magnesium, triglycerides, and high density lipoprotein are risk factors that exacerbate coronary heart disease symptoms in patients with psoriasis. Interpretation: The presented approach is a valuable tool for identifying psoriasis patients, coronary heart disease patients, and psoriasis patients with coronary heart disease. It can also serve as a support tool clinicians in the diagnostic process, by providing an outstanding support in the diagnostics prevention of coronary heart disease in psoriasis.
