Comparative analysis of predictive performance. (A) All-cause mortality, (B) cardiovascular mortality, and (C) cancer-specific mortality. The left panels display the C-index of the optimal machine learning models, and the right panels present the HR from the Cox regression benchmark. CI, confidence interval; CoxPH, Cox proportional hazards; GBSA, gradient boosting survival analysis; HR, hazard ratio; ML, machine learning; RSF, random survival forest; survivalSVM, survival support vector machin; TyG, triglyceride-glucose; TyG-BMI, triglyceride-glucose index multiplied by body mass index; TyG-WC, triglyceride-glucose index multiplied by waist circumference; TyG-WHtR, triglyceride-glucose index multiplied by waist-to-height ratio.
