Abstract:

Introduction: Gestational diabetes is associated with many short-term and long-term complications in mothers and newborns; hence, the detection of its risk factors can contribute to the timely diagnosis and prevention of relevant complications. The present study aimed to design and compare Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) prediction models using artificial intelligence algorithms. Materials and Methods: In this study, Decision Tree and Artificial Neural Network algorithms were used to predict GDM. The research population encompassed 1270 pregnant women referred for primary care at urban healthcare centers in Ahvaz, of whom 816 persons were healthy, and 454 individuals were diagnosed with GDM. To evaluate the effectiveness of the GDM prediction models, their sensitivity, specificity, precision, and accuracy were calculated and compared. Finally, the AdaBoost classification algorithm was used to boost the two proposed models. Results: Following the Principal Component Analysis (PCA), nine cases were selected for primary modeling. In the Artificial Neural Network model, the area under the ROC curve and sensitivity were 83.2 and 85.1%, respectively, and the area under the ROC curve and sensitivity for the Decision Tree model were 0.826 and 84%, respectively. After removing variables with lower weights and reinforcing the proposed model, the level under the rock curve and sensitivity increased by 0.861 and 92.1%, respectively. In this regard, fasting blood sugar at the first pregnancy visit, history of gestational diabetes in previous pregnancies, body mass index, mothers’ age, and family history of diabetes had the highest accuracy in predicting GDM. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that artificial intelligence algorithms are accurate and effective for the early prediction of gestational diabetes.

Prediction of ultimate strength of shale using artificial neural network

A rock failure criterion is very important for prediction of the ultimate strength in rock mechanics and geotechnics; it is determined for rock mechanics studies in mining, civil, and oil wellborn drilling operations. Also shales are among the most difficult to treat formations. Therefore, in this research work, using the artificial neural network (ANN), a model was built to predict the ultimat...

Performance Analysis of Artificial Neural Network with Decision Tree in Prediction of Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract—Human beings have the ability to make logical decisions. Although human decision making is often optimal, it is insufficient when huge amount of data is to be classified. Medical dataset is a vital ingredient used in predicting patient’s health condition. In other to have the best prediction, there calls for most suitable machine learning algorithms. This work compared the performance ...

Prediction of Surface Roughness by Hybrid Artificial Neural Network and Evolutionary Algorithms in End Milling

Machining processes such as end milling are the main steps of production which have major effect on the quality and cost of products. Surface roughness is one of the considerable factors that production managers tend to implement in their decisions. In this study, an artificial neural network is proposed to minimize the surface roughness by tuning the conditions of machining process such as cut...
