We developed an interpretable model, BOUND (Bayesian netwOrk for large-scale lUng caNcer Digital prescreening), using a comprehensive EHR dataset from the China to improve lung cancer detection rates. BOUND employs Bayesian network uncertainty inference, allowing it to predict lung cancer risk even with missing data and identify high-risk factors. Developed using data from 905,194 individuals, BOUND achieved an AUC of 0.
