Comparison of Machine Learning Approaches Toward Assessing the Risk of Developing Cardiovascular Disease as a Long-Term Diabetes Complication

The estimation of long-term diabetes complications risk is essential in the process of medical decision making. Guidelines for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) advocate calculating the Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk to initiate appropriate treatment. The objective of this study is to investigate the use of sophisticated machine learning techniques toward the development of personalized models able to predict the risk of fatal...
