Chronic disease prediction using administrative data and graph theory: The case of type 2 diabetes

作者:

Highlights:

• Administrative healthcare data is used to identify high-risk chronic patients.

• Graph theory and social network analysis concepts were used to understand the disease progression.

• Prediction framework showed between 82% to 87% accuracy using different methods.

• Three predictive methods — regression, parameter optimization and tree classification were used.

• Binary tree classification showed higher performance compared to the other two.
