The positive predictive value (PPV), defined as the proportion of true disease cases among all positive diagnostic results, reached 95.13%, and the F1-score, defined as the harmonic mean of precision and recall, reached 0.95. The model achieved a PPV of 87.15% and an F1-score of 0.87 for typical hyperplasia, as well as a PPV of 79.88% and an F1-score of 0.74 for atypical hyperplasia, both meeting clinically acceptable thresholds. For normal endometrial physiological states, the PPVs were 91.75% (proliferative phase), 80.94% (secretory phase), and 80.88% (menopausal phase).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
