Abstract:Objective To explore the application of inductive classification algorithm based on decision tree in optimization of medical treatment process. Methods Taking the test results of the burn inpatients as general data, we used inductive classification algorithm based on decision tree for medical treatment process optimization with medical treatment efficiency as the target. The model of decision tree was constructed and the rules for the optimization of medical treatment process were excavated. Results Among 10 pathological attributes, extent of burn, blood biochemistry, blood pressure and pulse played key roles in determining the patient treatment program after optimizing decision tree process. When the burn was mild, the treatment plan could be determined only by examining blood biochemistry indexes. When the burn was moderate, the treatment plan could be determined first by examining blood biochemistry indexes and then by examining blood pressure or pulse. When the burn was severe, emergency treatment plan should be adopted directly. Conclusion Data mining technology represented by decision tree can contributes to differential diagnosis of burn and optimization of the treatment process.
