An integrated decision support system based on ANN and Fuzzy_AHP for heart failure risk prediction

作者：

Highlights：

• This study proposed a hybrid decision support method (ANN and Fuzzy_AHP) for heart failure prediction.

• The performance of the proposed method was examined using three performance metrics.

• From the evaluations results, the proposed method performed better than the conventional ANN approach

• The proposed method would provide improved and realistic result for efficient therapy administration.
