Abstract
PURPOSE: This study aims to harness machine learning techniques, particularly the Random Survival Forest (RSF) model, to assess the impact of depression on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among hypertensive patients. A key objective is to elucidate the interplay between mental health, lifestyle, and physical activity while comparing the effectiveness of the RSF model against the traditional Cox proportional hazards model in predicting CVD mortality.
