FairMed-XGB: A Bayesian-Optimised Multi-Metric Framework with Explainability for Demographic Equity in Critical Healthcare Data

Machine learning models deployed in critical care settings exhibit demographic biases, particularly gender disparities, that undermine clinical trust and equitable treatment. This paper introduces FairMed-XGB, a novel framework that systematically detects and mitigates gender-based prediction bias while preserving model performance and transparency. The framework integrates a fairness-aware loss function combining Statistical Parity Difference, Theil Index, and Wasserstein Distance, jointly opti
