When the disease progresses to end stage renal failure (ESRD), the patient has be undergo long-term dialysis treatment. The cost of dialysis is immense and puts a huge burden on the health care system. The focus of this research is to examine clinical features associated with the progression of CKD to construct a model that can monitor the mortality risk of patients undergoing dialysis.
Method:Using four classifiers (Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, KNN, Random Forest) and three feature selectors (F-score,InfoGainEval, CfsSubsetEval), 6606 patients' dialysis data collected over the year 2007 to 2011 were analyzed for the building of a training model, and tested with a set of testing data to evaluate the performance of the constructed model. A website was also built to demonstrate the usability of the model.
Results and discussion:The prediction model built with the decision tree classifier provided the best performance for predicting a patient's risk of mortality. The model has the potential to assist physicians and patients with the monitoring of their treatment response and disease progression.
