High-performance association rule mining: Mortality prediction model for cardiovascular patients with COVID-19 patterns
Abstract
On a global scale, 213 countries and territories have been affected by the coronavirus outbreak. According to researchers, underlying co-morbidity, which includes conditions like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic respiratory disease, impacts mortality. The current situation requires for immediate delivery of solutions. The diagnosis should therefore be more accurate. Therefore, it's essential to determine each person's level of risk in order to prioritise testing for those who are subject to greater risk. The COVID-19 pandemic's onset and the cases of COVID-19 patients who have cardiovascular illness require specific handling. The paper focuses on defining the symptom rule for COVID-19 sickness in cardiovascular patients. The patient's chronic condition was taken into account while classifying the symptoms and determining the likelihood of fatality. The study found that a large proportion of people with fever, sore throats, and coughs have a history of stroke, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity. Patients with stroke were more likely to experience chest discomfort, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Additionally, the strategy scales well for large datasets and the computing time required for the entire rule extraction procedure is faster than the existing state-of-the-art method.
