Abstract: The aim of the study is to create an automated decision support system for differential diagnostics of chronic nonspecific diseases of small bronchi in children.
Materials and methods: The questionnaire was taken as a basis, developed in the laboratory of pediatric pulmonology, Research Institute of Pulmonology, St. electronic versions. The information content of the signs of chronic diseases of the small bronchi was assessed. The threshold value of the responses was determined in points characteristic of a specific form of diseases of the small bronchi. To assess the quality of diagnostic decisions made by the system, generally accepted statistical indicators were used.
Results and its discussion: The test cards were filled in and the correctness of the assigned pathology probability scores was assessed in 113 children with BA, in 139 children with chronic bronchiolitis and in 103 children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and a history of BPD. A decision support system has been developed for the differential diagnosis of chronic nonspecific diseases of the small bronchi (CPMD) in children. The system assesses the likelihood of each pathology, which determines the conduct of informative and financially sound research methods for the final establishment of the pathology form. The main feature of this technique is the simplicity of obtaining results after 3-5 minutes from the beginning of filling out the test card. Approbation of the developed automated system for early detection in children at the outpatient stage made it possible to clarify the form of diseases of the small bronchi, conduct informative research methods to confirm the diagnosis, without using additional financial costs.
Conclusions: For the first time, an automated decision support system has been developed for the differential diagnosis of chronic nonspecific diseases of the small bronchi (CPMD) in children. The application of the developed system has confirmed its practical significance in the refinement of the form of CHNZMB in children. The true prevalence rates were many times higher than the published incidence data. Official statistics did not actually reflect the true state of the problem.
