description For patients with hypertension, serious complications, such as myocardial infarction, a common cause of heart failure, occurs in the late stage of hypertension. Hypertension outcomes can lead to complications, including death. Hypertension outcomes threaten patients’ lives and need to be predicted. In our research, we reviewed the hypertension medical data from a tertiary-grade A class hospital in Beijing, and established a hypertension outcome prediction model with the machine learning theory. We first proposed a gain sequence forward tabu search feature selection (GSFTS-FS) method, which can search the optimal combination of medical variables that affect hypertension outcomes. Based on this, the XGBoost algorithm established a prediction model because of its good stability. We verified the proposed method by comparing other commonly used models in similar works. The proposed GSFTS-FS improved the performance by about 10%. The proposed prediction method has the best performance and its AUC value, accuracy, F1 value, and recall of 10-fold cross-validation were 0.96. 0.95, 0.88, and 0.82, respectively. It also performed well on test datasets with 0.92, 0.94, 0.87, and 0.80 for AUC, accuracy, F1, and recall, respectively. Therefore, the XGBoost with GSFTS-FS can accurately and effectively predict the occurrence of outcomes for patients with hypertension, and can provide guidance for doctors in clinical diagnoses and medical decision-making.
