Abstract

BACKGROUND: Dementia, with Alzheimer's disease (AD) being the most common type of this neurodegenerative disease, is an under-diagnosed health problem in older people. The creation of classification models based on AD risk factors using Deep Learning is a promising tool to minimize the impact of under-diagnosis. OBJECTIVE: To develop a Deep Learning model that uses clinical data from patients with dementia to classify whether they have AD. METHODS: A Deep Learning model to identify AD in clinical records is proposed. In addition, several rebalancing methods have been used to preprocess the dataset and several studies have been carried out to tune up the model. RESULTS: Model has been tested against other well-established machine learning techniques, having better results than these in terms of AUC with alpha less than 0.05. CONCLUSIONS: The developed Neural Network Model has a good performance and can be an accurate assisting tool for AD diagnosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
