Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of mental illness in Taiwan increased. Identifying and mitigating risk factors for mental illness is essential. Inflammation may be a risk factor for mental illness; however, the predictive power of inflammation test values is unclear. Artificial intelligence can predict the risk of disease. This study was the first to conduct risk prediction based on the combination of individual inflammation test values.
