Delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis contribute to poor prognosis and substantial economic burden in this population. However, there are currently no validated diagnostic models available for schizophrenia in PLWH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PLWH attending annual follow-ups at Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Infectious Diseases\/Yunnan AIDS Care Center were enrolled. Hematological parameters were compared between PLWH with schizophrenia (HIV-Scz) and those without (HIV-non-Scz) and diagnostic models were constructed using six machine learning algorithms. Model performance was evaluated comprehensively using area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, F1 score, recall, precision, and decision curve analysis. SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) were applied to determine the relative importance of each feature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 186 participants were included in this study, including 62 with clinically confirmed schizophrenia who were receiving antipsychotic treatment at the time of blood sampling. Compared with the HIV-non-Scz group, the HIV-Scz group exhibited significant differences across multiple hematological parameters. Six machine learning models constructed using 28 routine blood parameters demonstrated diagnostic capability, among which the Lasso regression model achieved the best overall performance, with mean AUC (0.966 \u00b1 0.016), F1-score (0.839 \u00b1 0.067), and accuracy (0.897 \u00b1 0.037), together with favorable precision (0.867 \u00b1 0.061) and recall (0.821 \u00b1 0.111). Decision curve analysis indicated that this model provided a higher net benefit within clinically relevant threshold probability ranges. Furthermore, SHAP analysis identified PDW, MPV and MCV as the most influential features contributing to model predictions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
