Abstract
Bilharzia or schistosomiasis is one of the most fatal and factitious disease happens through pollute which become a significant reason of deaths in the world. Prediction and factors identification that become causes of disease in early stage, may escort to treatment before it becomes critical. Data mining techniques are used to assist medical professionals effectively in diseases’ classification. This research investigates the recovery and death factors which contributes to schistosomiasis disease preprocessed dataset, collected from Hubei, China. A computerized learning method, association rule mining (Apriori) is used to spot factors. Different tools were used for analysis and model evaluation with minimum support and minimum confidence indicated higher than 90% to generate rules. In addition, attributes indicating recovery and death of individuals were identified. Strong associations of disease factors; BMI, viability, nourishment, extent to ascites etc. determined and classified through Apriori algorithm. Further, results generated by association rule mining method may useful for professionals in treatment decision with better precision.
Highlights
From several neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), schistosomiasis is one of the major fatal and infectious NTD of the world, known as bilharzia or snail fever. which is a parasitic disease fastened with skin through contaminated fresh water, penetrate human body, transmit in it and migrates into human veins where parasites lay eggs which becomes causes of two stages of schistosomiasis [1], [2]
First approach was based on extraction of rules to indicate recovery of patient and second, to check factors which are causing the death of patients
After implementation of filtration and preprocessing techniques on data, we evaluate popular association rule mining algorithm (Apriori) using proposed study framework
Summary
From several neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), schistosomiasis is one of the major fatal and infectious NTD of the world, known as bilharzia or snail fever. which is a parasitic disease fastened with skin through contaminated fresh water, penetrate human body, transmit in it and migrates into human veins where parasites lay eggs which becomes causes of two stages (chronic and acute) of schistosomiasis [1], [2]. From several neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), schistosomiasis is one of the major fatal and infectious NTD of the world, known as bilharzia or snail fever. According to a report of world health organization (WHO) on schistosomiasis in 2016, out of 206.4 million infected people, only 89 million people were treated with praziquantel (drug treatment). 700 million individuals of endemic countries are infected by schistosomiasis. 78 countries reported as transmission of disease [1], [3], [4]. In 2017, 743 million population of the world treated with preventive chemotherapy for disease elimination from different counties which indicated the recovery of 68% school aged (75% recovery from 36 countries), 68.8% soil transmitted and 69% preschool children (75% recovery from 29 countries) [5].
