The dataset includes demographics, dental diagnoses, medical history, medications, procedures, and social determinants of health. The target variable was PD. Because EHR data are not research ready, extensive preprocessing was required (eg, 1 patient may have 400+ medical codes, which ML\/statistical models cannot process directly). To prepare for artificial intelligence\/ML, we developed 5 automated feature reduction approaches to retain rich information while reducing variables. After preprocessing, 106 features were retained as independent variables. ML models (Gaussian Naive Bayes, Random Forest, LightGBM, XGBoost) were trained using cross-validation across 5 experimental strategies, including (1) features selected via chi-square test, (2) raw data (without extensive processing), (3) aggregated data, (4) systemic disease complexity system, and (5) EHR-only data. Model performance was assessed using sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The chi-square\u2013selected features yielded the best performance: 85% specificity, 67% sensitivity, and 84% AUC. Although adding medical conditions did not significantly improve overall performance, key conditions (eg, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine\/metabolic disorders, renal diseases, respiratory conditions, hematologic disorders, etc) contributed meaningfully to PD risk prediction. EDR factors (oral hygiene, periodontal treatment, brushing, flossing, smoking, and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification) dominated prediction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although dental factors remained dominant predictors, strong systemic\u2013oral health associations were observed.
