Survivability Prognosis for Lung Cancer Patients at Different Severity Stages by a Risk Factor-Based Bayesian Network Modeling.

Sumario:Lung cancer is a major reason of mortalities. Estimating the survivability for this disease has become a key issue to families, hospitals, and countries. A conditional Gaussian Bayesian network model was presented in this study. This model considered 15 risk factors to predict the survivability of a lung cancer patient at 4 severity stages. We surveyed 1075 patients. The presented model is constructed by using the demographic, diagnosed-based, and prior-utilization variables. The proposed model for the survivability prognosis at different four stages performed R2 of 93.57%, 86.83%, 67.22%, and 52.94%, respectively. The model predicted the lung cancer survivability with high accuracy compared with the reported models. Our model also shows that it reached the ceiling of an ideal Bayesian network.
