Insights
A new contextual patient classification system achieved 97.4% accuracy in analyzing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) data. This system aids in better preparedness for future pandemic waves by analyzing patient data and outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Medical Informatics
- Computational Biology
- Epidemiology
Background:
- The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has severely impacted global health systems.
- Despite medical advancements, rapid virus spread necessitates improved data analysis for patient management.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate a contextual patient classification system for analyzing COVID-19 patient data.
- To analyze COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patient data, including treatments, symptoms, and demographics.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm for contextual patient classification.
- Analyzed discharge summary data from a research hospital.
- Examined factors such as medications, medical services, tests, pulse, temperature, age, and gender.
Main Results:
- Achieved a classification accuracy of 97.4% for the contextual patient classification system.
- Studied the death versus survival ratio for COVID-19 positive patients.
- Analyzed the impact of various factors on patient outcomes.
Conclusions:
- The developed system offers a robust method for classifying patients during pandemics.
- Combining data analysis with contextual classification enhances preparedness for future health crises like COVID-19.
Abstract:
Humanity today is suffering from one of the most dangerous pandemics in history, the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19). Although today there is immense advancement in the medical field with the latest technology, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected us severely. The virus is spreading rapidly, resulting in an escalation in the number of patients admitted. We propose a contextual patient classification system for better analysis of the data from the discharge summary available from the research hospital. The classification was done using the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm. We have also analyzed the data of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients. During the analysis, studies on the medicines, medical services and tests, pulse count, body temperature, and the overall effect of age and gender was done. The death versus survival ratio for the COVID-19 positive patients has also been studied. The classification accuracy of the contextual patient classification system achieved was 97.4%. The combination of data analysis and contextual patient classification will be helpful to all the sectors to be better prepared for any future waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
