چکیده

Background and Purpose: Association rule mining can discover hidden patterns and relationships between variables that may not be apparent through other data analysis techniques. We aimed to find practical patterns in COVID-۱۹ data and predict patient survivor status using association rules. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, clinical data of ۵۱۴۶۰ hospitalized patients tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were collected from February ۲۰, ۲۰۲۰, to September ۱۲, ۲۰۲۱, in Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. An Apriori algorithm was used to extract association rules or patterns in data.  Results: Most participants (۵۱.۰%) were male; their Mean±SD age was ۵۴.۵۵±۲۲.۱۵ years. Fever (۳۷%), cough (۳۸.۴%), respiratory distress (۵۶%), PO۲ level less than ۹۳% (۵۲.۹%), muscular pain (۱۹.۱%) and decreased consciousness (۸.۹%) were common symptoms. Based on the association rules, if a patient was older than ۷۵ years, had respiratory distress, reduced consciousness and PO۲ level < ۹۳%, then this patient is who has died. The PCR test result of a male who used drugs was positive. Vomit and diarrhea lead to positive PCR test results, too. The most common symptom seen in men was respiratory distress, while the most common symptom in women was hypertension. Muscular pain due to COVID-۱۹ is more common in women than men. Furthermore, the accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve were obtained as ۹۲.۲۸ and ۸۶.۸۰ on the testing dataset, respectively. Conclusion: Simple methods such as association rules mining and complex methods could be helpful and give valuable results, and predicting death using association rules provides high accuracy.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
