K-means Clustering Classification Patients.

This figure presents the results of consensus clustering analysis to determine the optimal number of clusters (k) for Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic-Sepsis patients. (A) Delta area plot: Shows the relative change in the area under the cumulative distribution function (CDF) curve as k increases, indicating the optimal number of clusters. (B) Consensus CDF plot: Displays the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for different k-values, where greater separation and stability of CDF curves suggest the most suitable cluster number.
