Abstract

Nowadays there is a lot of data in every field and it is very difficult to process these data without any decision support mechanism. One of these decision support mechanisms is genetic algorithm method. The importance of analyzing and result prediction from these enormous data is very important for some critical fields. In this study, a decision support mechanism was created for disease profile prediction and genetic algorithm method was used for this aim. Patient data sets were collected from Harran University Hospital and MATLAB software was used while scheduled operations being performed. It was determined by the opinion of the doctors which patient data sets are important for pre-diagnosis of particular diseases. Decision support mechanism is intended to help doctors for pre-diagnosis and prevent misdiagnosis in diagnosing diseases.
