Analysis of Mental Health Diseases Trends using BeGraph Software in Spanish Healthcare Centers
ABSTRACT
Background:
In the era of Big Data, networks are becoming a popular factor in field of data analysis. The networks are part of the main structure of BeGraph software, which is a 3D visualization application dedicated to the analysis of complex networks.
Objective:
The main objective of this research is to visually analyze tendencies of Mental Health diseases in a region of Spain through the Begraph software, in order to make the most appropriate health-related decisions in each case.
Methods:
For the development of the study, a database was used with 13531 records of patients with Mental Health disorders of three acute medical units from different healthcare complexes in a region of Spain. For the analysis, BeGraph software is applied, a web-based 3D visualization tool that allows the exploration and analysis of data through complex networks.
Results:
The results obtained with the BeGraph software allow us to determine the main disease detected in each of the healthcare complexes to be evaluated: 6.5% of income at the University Clinic of Valladolid with unspecified paranoid schizophrenia, 9.61% of admissions in the Zamora Hospital with chronic paranoid schizophrenia with acute exacerbation and 8.84% of income in the Rio Hortega Hospital in Valladolid with dysthymic disorder.
Conclusions:
The data analysis obtained allows us to focus on the main diseases detected in the healthcare complexes to be evaluated, in order to analyse the behaviour of disorder and help in the diagnosis and treatment.
