Designing an expert system for differential diagnosis of β-Thalassemia minor and Iron-Deficiency anemia using neural network

Using Data Mining Models for Differential Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia and β-thalassemia Minor

Introduction: One of the most common types of anemia is Iron deficiency anemia that its main differential diagnosis is β-thalassemia minor. The rapid and accurate screening of β-thalassemia minor has particular importance for pre-marriage medical counseling and the prevention of the birth of neonates with β-thalassemia major and differentiating it from iron deficiency anemia to avoid unnecessar...

Differential Diagnosis of Microcytic Anemia, Thalassemia or Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Diagnostic Test Accuracy Meta-Analysis

We evaluated the most common indices to compare their sensitivity and specificity to introduce the most sensitive and specific index. We systematically searched five international indexing databases up to Dec 2018. For each index, we measured the diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), as well as summary ROC (SROC) curve which was used to compare the performance of each index. Deeks̕ tests of all discrimin...

cut off determination of discrimination indices in differential diagnosis between iron deficiency anemia and β- thalassemia minor.

objective: the two most frequent hypochromic microcytic anemias are β- thalassemia minor (btm) and iron deficiency anemia (ida). several discrimination indices have been proposed to quickly discriminate these similar entities via parameters obtained from automated blood count analyzers. the aim of this study to evaluate the diagnostic reliability of ten discrimination indices in the differentia...
