. Part of the book series (LNCS, volume 8482) Abstract The differential diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases (ESD) in dermatology is a difficult task because of the overlapping of their signs and symptoms. Automatic detection of ESD can be useful to support physicians in making decisions if the model gives comprehensible explanations and conclusions. Several approaches have been proposed to automatically diagnosis ESD, including artificial neural networks (ANN) and support vector machines (SVM). Although, these methods achieve high performance accuracy, they are not attractive for dermatologists because their models are not directly usable.

Decision trees can be converted into a set of if-then rules, which makes them particularly suitable for rule-based systems. They have been already used for the diagnosis of ESD. In this paper, we investigate the performance of boosting decision trees as an ensemble strategy for the diagnosis of ESD. We consider two decision tree models, namely unpruned decision tree and pruned decision tree. The experimental results obtained on UCI dermatology data set show that boosting decision trees leads to a relative increase in accuracy that attains 5.35%. Comparison results with other related methods demonstrate the competitiveness of the ensemble of unpruned decision trees. It performs 96.72% accuracy, which is better than those of some methods, such as genetic algorithms and K-means clustering.

FREE PREVIEW – View select topics to experience the 6-step diagnostic framework and interactive decision trees to discover how this app can help all health care professionals narrow down an accurate psychiatric diagnosis. ABOUT DSM-5™ DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS HANDBOOK All clinicians are trained to make accurate diagnoses.
Beginning with the patient’s presenting symptoms, they ultimately narrow down multiple options to one condition. The DSM-5 Differential Diagnosis Handbook can play a critical role in this process by improving the diagnostic process of psychiatric conditions. Leveraging latest DSM-5 classifications from the American Psychiatric Association, users are able to use a trusted 6-step process when dealing with, sometimes unfamiliar, psych conditions. Exclusive, integrated interactive decision trees provide a step-by-step process of asking yes or no questions to find a tentative diagnosis. When the initial diagnosis is reached, tables of differential diagnoses are presented to help confirm or present new options. FEATURES.
Interactive decision trees for narrowing down psychiatric diagnoses. Algorithms for enhanced assessment. The latest DSM-5 classifications and ICD-10 codes. Helpful tables of differential diagnoses. Detailed entries featuring definitions for each psychiatric condition. Expansive guidance on all 6 steps of the differential diagnosis process.
