Triage in a contagious disease as pleural tuberculosis is essential to send the patients to a correct treatment to cure the ailment. These tools are still a challenge because some invasive standard tests are necessary to detect it. The present work shows two models to do a clustering and classify patients of pleural tuberculosis in three risk groups. This clustering uses Fuzzy-Art neural networks to find these groups in the data. First approach employs just anamneses variables and second methodology uses additional information about some classical result tests. The last approach exhibits best results compared to the approach using anamneses variables. Results for sensitivity are similar in two approaches, presenting 93.75% in the anamneses case and 96.87% using more variables.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
