Participants were categorized into two groups: the CI group (n\u2009=\u200953) and the non-CI group (n\u2009=\u2009362). Binary logistic regression, encompassing both univariate and multivariate analyses, was conducted to identify influencing factors. Subsequently, a CI risk prediction model was constructed using four machine learning algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Neural Network (NN), and Logistic Regression (LR). The optimal model was further assessed for predictor importance utilizing the SHAP method and deployed on a web platform using the Streamlit library.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Logistic regression analysis identified age, hemoglobin concentration, education level, and social participation as significant factors influencing CI. Models based on NNET, RF, LR, and SVM algorithms were developed, achieving AUC of 0.918, 0.889, 0.872, and 0.760, respectively, on the test set. Calibration curves demonstrated that all models were well-calibrated. Among these, the NNET model exhibited the highest predictive performance. According to the SHAP analysis of the optimal model, the most influential predictors are age, education level, and hemoglobin concentration.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Machine learning models are valuable tools for predicting the risk of CI in CKD patients and can assist healthcare professionals in developing appropriate intervention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n
