This study explores the performance of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHO-DASII) in an Italian hospital. It uses AI-driven rule-based clustering to identify patient profiles and assess functioning.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Medical Informatics
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Background:

  • Europe's aging population faces increasing disability and reduced quality of life.
  • The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule II (WHO-DASII) offers a standardized measure of functioning.
  • Quantifying disability remains challenging, necessitating robust assessment tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance of the WHO-DASII using patient data from an Italian hospital.
  • To extract knowledge regarding patient functioning profiles from WHO-DASII results.
  • To compare AI-based knowledge discovery techniques with traditional methods for disability assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Application of rule-based clustering, an AI and Statistics hybrid technique.

  • Utilizing Inductive Learning combined with statistical clustering to identify typical patient profiles.
  • Analysis of WHO-DASII results from a sample of patients in an Italian hospital.

    • Main Results:

    • The study presents the outcomes of applying rule-based clustering to WHO-DASII data.
    • Identified typical patient profiles based on functioning domains (physical, mental, social).
    • Comparison of the AI approach with classical analysis methods for WHO-DASII data.

    Conclusions:

    • Rule-based clustering provides valuable insights into WHO-DASII performance and patient functioning.
    • AI techniques can effectively extract knowledge and identify profiles in complex health data.
    • The findings contribute to a better understanding and application of disability assessment tools.
