Although necessary information on prognostic implications is missing and reliable data are available in very few areas of medicine, there is an increasing demand for diagnostic decision support systems (DDSS), mainly due to the multitude of variables involved and highly complex relations between them. Unfortunately, existing approaches seem inadequate for providing accurate and high quality data a prerequisite for establishing a successful DDSS. In this paper, we demonstrate how SISDS methodology that aims to remedy the deficiencies of current systems in use can be utilized to ease the data collection process and provide opportunities to construct DDSSs without tedious pre-processing and data preparation steps. We also provide empirical results on a real-world testbed application in the field of radiology.

A novel report generation approach for medical applications : the sisds methodology and its applications
Kuru, Kaya; Arda, Kemal; Department of Medical Informatics (2010)
In medicine, reliable data are available only in a few areas and necessary information on prognostic implications is generally missing. In spite of the fact that a great amount of money has been invested to ease the process, an effective solution has yet to be found. Unfortunately, existing data collection approaches in medicine seem inadequate to provide accurate and high quality data, which is a prerequisite for building a robust and effective DDSS. In this thesis, many different medical reporting methodo...
ANALYSIS OF NEUROONCOLOGICAL DATA TO PREDICT SUCCESS OF OPERATION THROUGH CLASSIFICATION
Bagherzadi, Negin; BÖRCEK, ALP ÖZGÜN; TOKDEMİR, GÜL; ÇAĞILTAY, NERGİZ; MARAŞ, HADİ HAKAN (2016-10-05)
Data mining algorithms have been applied in various fields of medicine to get insights about diagnosis and treatment of certain diseases. This gives rise to more research on personalized medicine as patient data can be utilized to predict outcomes of certain treatment procedures. Accordingly, this study aims to create a model to provide decision support for surgeons in Neurooncology surgery. For this purpose, we have analyzed clinical pathology records of Neurooncology patients through various classificatio...
A test for detecting etiologic heterogeneity in epidemiological studies
Karagulle, S.; Kalaylıoğlu Akyıldız, Zeynep Işıl (2016-02-17)
Current statistical methods for analyzing epidemiological data with disease subtype information allow us to acquire knowledge not only for risk factor-disease subtype association but also, on a more profound account, heterogeneity in these associations by multiple disease characteristics (so-called etiologic heterogeneity of the disease). Current interest, particularly in cancer epidemiology, lies in obtaining a valid p-value for testing the hypothesis whether a particular cancer is etiologically heterogene...
Integrating machine learning techniques into robust data enrichment approach and its application to gene expression data
Erdogdu, Utku; TAN, MEHMET; Alhajj, Reda; Polat, Faruk; Rokne, Jon; Demetrick, Douglas (Inderscience Publishers, 2013-01-01)
The availability of enough samples for effective analysis and knowledge discovery has been a challenge in the research community, especially in the area of gene expression data analysis. Thus, the approaches being developed for data analysis have mostly suffered from the lack of enough data to train and test the constructed models. We argue that the process of sample generation could be successfully automated by employing some sophisticated machine learning techniques. An automated sample generation framewo...
A Semantically Enriched Clinical Guideline Model Enabling Deployment in Heterogeneous Healthcare Environments
Laleci, Gokce B.; Doğaç, Asuman (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-03-01)
Clinical guidelines are developed to assist healthcare practitioners to make decisions on patient's medical problems, and as such they communicate with external applications to retrieve patient data to initiate medical actions through clinical workflows, and transmit information to alert/reminder systems. The interoperability problems in the healthcare information technology domain prevent wider deployment of clinical guidelines because each deployment requires a tedious custom adaptation phase. In this pap...
