    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major public health problem and cause of mortality worldwide. However, COPD in the early stage is usually not recognized and diagnosed. It is necessary to establish a risk model to predict COPD development. METHODS: A total of 441 COPD patients and 192 control subjects were recruited, and 101 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were determined using the MassArray assay. With 5 clinical features as well as SNPs, 6 predictive models were established and evaluated in the training set and test set by the confusion matrix AU-ROC, AU-PRC, sensitivity (recall), specificity, accuracy, F1 score, MCC, PPV (precision) and NPV. The selected features were ranked. RESULTS: Nine SNPs were significantly associated with COPD. Among them, 6 SNPs (rs1007052, OR = 1.671, P = 0.010; rs2910164, OR = 1.416, P < 0.037; rs473892, OR = 1.473, P < 0.044; rs161976, OR = 1.594, P < 0.044; rs159497, OR = 1.445, P < 0.045; and rs9296092, OR = 1.832, P < 0.045) were risk factors for COPD, while 3 SNPs (rs8192288, OR = 0.593, P < 0.015; rs20541, OR = 0.669, P < 0.018; and rs12922394, OR = 0.651, P < 0.022) were protective factors for COPD development. In the training set, KNN, LR, SVM, DT and XGboost obtained AU-ROC values above 0.82 and AU-PRC values above 0.92. Among these models, XGboost obtained the highest AU-ROC (0.94), AU-PRC (0.97), accuracy (0.91), precision (0.95), F1 score (0.94), MCC (0.77) and specificity (0.85), while MLP obtained the highest sensitivity (recall) (0.99) and NPV (0.87). In the validation set, KNN, LR and XGboost obtained AU-ROC and AU-PRC values above 0.80 and 0.85, respectively. KNN had the highest precision (0.82), both KNN and LR obtained the same highest accuracy (0.81), and KNN and LR had the same highest F1 score (0.86). Both DT and MLP obtained sensitivity (recall) and NPV values above 0.94 and 0.84, respectively. In the feature importance analyses, we identified that AQCI, age, and BMI had the greatest impact on the predictive abilities of the models, while SNPs, sex and smoking were less important. CONCLUSIONS: The KNN, LR and XGboost models showed excellent overall predictive power, and the use of machine learning tools combining both clinical and SNP features was suitable for predicting the risk of COPD development.
