Goal: Analysis of health factors to predict a patient's survival rate from heart disease.
Question
What health factors are the biggest indicator of heart failure that lead to a death event?
Role & Process
I performed exploratory data analysis and explained the relation between a patient's follow-up time, age, and death event. I utilized least-squares regression, ANOVA,
and hypothesis testing for the analysis. As a group, we utilized multiple methods of statistical analysis including chi square and t-test.
Conclusion
We concluded that the most important factors that can predict heart failure leading to a death event include serum creatinine, ejection fraction, and age. A higher level of serum creatinine and a low ejection fraction can lead to a death event, and the likelihood of a death event increases as patients age.
