The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was employed to categorize depression severity levels among participants. The final cohort included 9271 participants, selected after excluding those with incomplete data. Participants were followed up for a median of 7.1 years, and cardiovascular mortality was assessed up to December 31, 2019.

Its ability to stratify patients into risk categories can assist healthcare professionals in making informed decisions, underscoring the potential of machine learning in public health and clinical settings. This model demonstrates particular utility in settings where detailed, patient-specific risk assessments are critical for managing long-term health outcomes. Future research should focus on external validation and integration of more diverse variables to enhance predictive power.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychosomatic Research","volume":"189 ","pages":"Article 112030"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142928596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
