A Case-Finding Clinical Decision Support System to Identify Subjects with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Based on Public Health Data

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious chronic respiratory disease. Improving the ability to identify patients with COPD in primary medical institutions is important to prevent and treat the disease. With the continuous development of medical digitization, the application of big data informatization in the medical and health fields has become possible. Recently, applying innovative technologies such as big data analysis, machine learning, and artificial intelligence-assisted decision-making in the medical field has become an interdisciplinary research hotspot. Based on the identification and diagnosis of COPD in the high-risk population, this study proposes a convenient and effective clinical decision support system to help identify patients with COPD in primary health institutions. The results of the preliminary experiments show that the proposed method is convenient and effective compared with the existing methods.
