Multidimensional data\u2014including demographic characteristics, trauma\/injury features, admission vitals\/perfusion indices, and laboratory parameters\u2014were extracted. The improved beaver behavior optimizer (IBBO) algorithm synchronously optimized feature subsets, base learners, and hyperparameter combinations. Clinical rationality of features was verified using LASSO regression and SHAP interpretability analysis.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The IBBO algorithm demonstrated superior stability and outperformed the original BBO and comparative algorithms in most test functions. The AutoML model achieved best performance. The test set further confirmed its robustness, yielding a ROC-AUC of 0.9357 and PR-AUC of 0.9270. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the AutoML model\u2019s clinical net benefit surpassed that of traditional methods across a threshold range of 1\u201396%; The calibration curve likewise indicated high consistency between predicted probabilities and actual outcomes, with a Brier score as low as 0.110. SHAP analysis identified key predictors in descending order of importance: GCS score, ISS score, time from injury to ER admission, lactate, and fibrinogen.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The IBBO-based AutoML prognostic model provides an efficient, accurate tool for in-hospital mortality prediction in traumatic multiple fractures with hemorrhagic shock. The model identified that core predictors\u2014including GCS score, ISS score, time to ER admission, lactate, and fibrinogen\u2014critically influence in-hospital mortality outcomes. Clinical decision support software derived from this model offers visual, intelligent guidance for stratified care, promising utility in trauma emergency practice.<\/jats:p>\n
