Application Analysis of Combining BP Neural Network and Logistic Regression in Human Resource Management System

A lung cancer risk warning model based on tongue images

Objective: To investigate the tongue image features of patients with lung cancer and benign pulmonary nodules and to construct a lung cancer risk warning model using machine learning methods. Methods: From July 2020 to March 2022, we collected 862 participants including 263 patients with lung cancer, 292 patients with benign pulmonary nodules, and 307 healthy subjects. The TFDA-1 digital tongue diagnosis instrument was used to capture tongue images, using feature extraction technology to obtain the index of the tongue images. The statistical characteristics and correlations of the tongue index were analyzed, and six machine learning algorithms were used to build prediction models of lung cancer based on different data sets. Results: Patients with benign pulmonary nodules had different statistical characteristics and correlations of tongue image data than patients with lung cancer. Among the models based on tongue image data, the random forest prediction model performed the best, with a model accuracy of 0.679 ± 0.048 and an AUC of 0.752 ± 0.051. The accuracy for the logistic regression, decision tree, SVM, random forest, neural network, and naïve bayes models based on both the baseline and tongue image data were 0.760 ± 0.021, 0.764 ± 0.043, 0.774 ± 0.029, 0.770 ± 0.050, 0.762 ± 0.059, and 0.709 ± 0.052, respectively, while the corresponding AUCs were 0.808 ± 0.031, 0.764 ± 0.033, 0.755 ± 0.027, 0.804 ± 0.029, 0.777 ± 0.044, and 0.795 ± 0.039, respectively. Conclusion: The tongue diagnosis data under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic theory was useful. The performance of models built on tongue image and baseline data was superior to that of the models built using only the tongue image data or the baseline data. Adding objective tongue image data to baseline data can significantly improve the efficacy of lung cancer prediction models.

Construction and Evaluation of Prognosis Prediction Model for Patients with Brain Contusion and Laceration Based on Machine Learning

Objective

Finding valuable risk factors for the prognosis of brain contusion and laceration can help patients understand the condition and improve the prognosis. This study is aimed at analyzing the risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with brain contusion after the operation.

Methods

A total of 136 patients with cerebral contusion and laceration combined with cerebral hernia treated by neurosurgical craniotomy in our hospital were retrospectively selected and divided into a training set (n = 95) and a test set (n = 41) by the 10-fold crossover method. Logistic regression and back-propagation neural network prediction models were established to predict poor prognosis factors. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the calibration curve were used to verify the differentiation and consistency of the prediction model.

Results

Based on logistic regression and back-propagation neural network prediction models, GCS score ≤ 8 on admission, blood loss ≥ 30 ml, mannitol ≥ 2 weeks, anticoagulants before admission, and surgical treatment are the risk factors that affect the poor prognosis of patients with a cerebral contusion after the operation. The area under the ROC was 0.816 (95% CI 0.705~0.926) and 0.819 (95% CI 0.708~0.931), respectively.

Conclusion

The prediction model based on the risk factors that affect the poor prognosis of patients with brain contusion and laceration has good discrimination and accuracy.
