Aim
To assess the suitability of self‐reported oral health status to predict 5‐ and 10‐year tooth loss without involvement of any clinical measures.
Materials and Methods
Within the population Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP), 2,776 subjects with 5‐year follow‐up data and 2,016 subjects with 10‐year follow‐up examination data were studied. Self‐rated oral health was assessed at baseline and...
The identification of predictive features associated with distinct medical outcomes is a key requirement for meaningful clinical decision support. Usually, their discovery is based on sets of labeled examples and an analysis of the inherent information of the features w. r. t. the target variable. However, obtaining large sets of labeled examples may be not feasible and the sole label consideration...
Medical research can greatly benefit from advances in data mining. We propose a mining approach for cohort analysis in a longitudinal population-based epidemiological study, and show that modelling and exploiting the evolution of cohort participants over time improves classification quality towards an outcome (a disease). Our mining workflow encompasses steps for tracing the evolution of the cohort...
Clinical decision support relies on the findings of epidemiological (longitudinal and cross-sectional) studies on predictive features and risk factors for diseases. Such features flow into the diagnostic procedures. Personalized medicine, which aims to optimize clinical decision making by taking individual characteristics of the patients into account, relies on the findings of epidemiology on groups...
