Predicting The Onset Of Diabetes-Related Complications After A Diabetes Diagnosis With Machine Learning Algorithms

The burden of Diabetes has been ranked as the eighth cause in the ranking of causes of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) all over the world [1,2], accounting for 2.8% of total DALYs and with an increase of more than 148% in 2019 as compared with the data obtained in 1990 [2]. Diabetes is one of the most significant factors increasing the risk of mortality, morbidity, and disability worldwide, and its economic burden demands new ways to curb diabetes healthcare expenditure [3]. Furthermore, people with diabetes are at greater risk of additionally suffering from cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack or stroke [4 –6]; kidney failure [4]; foot ulcers that might lead to amputation [7,8]; and functional impairment [9].
