Objective: For small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs), a regular follow-up examination is recommended every 12 months for AAAs of 30-39 mm and every six months for AAAs of 40-55 mm. Follow-up diameters can determine if a patient follows the common growth model of the population. However, the rapid expansion of an AAA, often associated with higher rupture risk, may be overlooked even though it requires surgical intervention. Therefore, the prognosis of abdominal aortic aneurysm growth is clinically important for planning treatment. This study aims to build enhanced Bayesian inference methods to predict maximum aneurysm diameter.

Estimation of disease progression for ischemic heart disease using latent Markov with covariates Oflaz, Zarina; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2022-06-01) Contemporaneous monitoring of disease progression, in addition to early diagnosis, is important for the treatment of patients with chronic conditions. Chronic disease-related factors are not easily tractable, and the existing data sets do not clearly reflect them, making diagnosis difficult. The primary issue is that databases maintained by health care, insurance, or governmental organizations typically do not contain clinical information and instead focus on patient appointments and demographic profiles. D...
Recognizing Obesity and Comorbidities in Sparse Data Uzuner, Oezlem (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2009-07-01) In order to survey, facilitate, and evaluate studies of medical language processing on clinical narratives, i2b2 (Informatics for Integrating Biology to the Bedside) organized its second challenge and workshop. This challenge focused on automatically extracting information on obesity and fifteen of its most common comorbidities from patient discharge summaries. For each patient, obesity and any of the comorbidities could be Present, Absent, or Questionable (i.e., possible) in the patient, or Unmentioned in ...
Not just data: A method for improving prediction with knowledge Yet, Barbaros; Fenton, Norman; Tai, Nigel; Marsh, William (Elsevier BV, 2014-04-01) Many medical conditions are only indirectly observed through symptoms and tests. Developing predictive models for such conditions is challenging since they can be thought of as 'latent' variables. They are not present in the data and often get confused with measurements. As a result, building a model that fits data well is not the same as making a prediction that is useful for decision makers. In this paper, we present a methodology for developing Bayesian network (BN) models that predict and reason with la...
A patient-oriented decision support framework and its application to biopsy decision for prostatic carcinoma Gülkesen, Kemal Hakan; Saka, Osman; Department of Health Informatics (2009) Serum PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) level is used for prediction of prostatic carcinoma, but it suffers from weak sensitivity and specificity. We applied logistic regression, artificial neural networks, decision tree, and genetic algorithm to prostate cancer prediction problem to design a model for Turkish population. A hybrid model of logistic regression and decision tree has been designed. The model could prevent 33 biopsies (4.4% of our patients who have PSA level between 0 and 10) from our data set wi...
Comparison of methods for prediction of prostate cancer in Turkish men with PSA levels of 0-10 ng/mL GÜLKESEN, KEMAL HAKAN; KÖKSAL, İSMAİL TÜRKER; BİLGE, UĞUR; Saka, O. (2010-07-01) Purpose: Several concepts to improve the diagnostic accuracy of prostate specific antigen (PSA) for prediction of prostate cancer have been studied. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the methods used for improving the diagnostic accuracy of PSA in a country with low incidence of prostate cancer
