Predicting major adverse cardiovascular events after orthotopic liver transplantation using a supervised machine learning model: A cohort study

Figure 3 The x-axis represents the mean Shapley additive explanations value, which quantifies the average impact of each feature on the model’s output. A higher mean Shapley additive explanations value means that the feature has a more significant influence on model predictions. The bars are color-coded to represent two distinct classes: Class 0 (blue), which represents absent major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE), and Class 1 (red), which represents the occurrence of MACE. The length of the bar in each color indicates the average impact of the corresponding feature on prediction of that specific class. Longer bars (regardless of color) mean that the feature has a greater average impact on model output. The direction of the influence (whether it pushes predictions towards Class 0 or Class 1) is denoted by the color. SBP: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; Class 0: Major adverse cardiovascular event absent; Class 1: Major adverse cardiovascular event present; SHAP: Shapley additive explanations.
