LASSO regression was used to screen key predictors. Nine machine learning models were constructed and validated, with SHAP analysis to improve model interpretability. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) quantified direct associations of key factors, and a R Shiny-based online visualization tool was developed for clinical application.
