ABSTRACT

Background:

Background:

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) can occur by transplacental infection or blood-to-blood contact around or after delivery. Data mining techniques are essential in clinical decision-making, especially in medical diagnostics.

Objective:

Objective:

In this study, we aimed to bring the actual data set into the decision tree model and understand the information that will be released.

Methods:

Methods:

We experimented with decision tree calculations by using ID3 and CART algorithms to find general rules and predictions for a data set of 60 HBsAg-positive pregnant women.

Results:

Result: Around 42 to 47% of cases of HBeAg positive fall to the large risk of MTCT. 15 to 18% of cases of HBeAg negative and a concentration of PBMCs ≥8x106 cells/ml will be at a small risk of MTCT. 37 to 53% cases of HBeAg negative and concentration of PBMCs < 8x106 cells/ml will negligent the risk of MTCT.

Conclusions:

Conclusion: Combining experiment results shows the additive or inhibitory influence of other biochemical indicators on the impact of HBeAg and concentration of PBMCs on the risk of transmission from mother to child.
