Predicting technique survival in peritoneal dialysis patients: comparing artificial neural networks and logistic regression
BACKGROUND Early technique failure has been a major limitation on the wider adoption of peritoneal dialysis (PD). The objectives of this study were to use data from a large, multi-centre, prospective database, the United Kingdom Renal Registry (UKRR), in order to determine the ability of an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict early PD technique failure and to compare its performanc...
متن کاملArtificial neural networks versus bivariate logistic regression in prediction diagnosis of patients with hypertension and diabetes
Background: Diabetes and hypertension are important non-communicable diseases and their prevalence is important for health authorities. The aim of this study was to determine the predictive precision of the bivariate Logistic Regression (LR) and Artificial Neutral Network (ANN) in concurrent diagnosis of diabetes and hypertension. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed with 12000 ...
متن کاملArtificial neural networks: applications in predicting pancreatitis survival
Artificial neural networks are intelligent systems that have successfully been used for prediction in different medical fields. In this study, the efficiency of a neural network for predicting the survival of patients with acute pancreatitis is compared with days-of-survival obtained from patients. A three- layer back-propagation neural network was developed for this purpose. Clinical data (e.g...

متن کاملPredicting shrimp disease occurrence: artificial neural networks vs. logistic regression
Predicting the occurrence of disease outbreaks in aquacultural farms can be of considerable value to the long-term sustainable development of the industry. Prior research on disease prediction has essentially depended upon traditional statistical models with varying degrees of prediction accuracy. Furthermore, the application of these models in sustainable aquaculture development and in control...
