Abstract

Abstract : Objective . BP neural network (BPNN) model and support vector machine (SVM) model were used to predict the total hospitalization expenses of patients with bronchopneumonia. Methods . A total of 355 patients with bronchopneumonia from January 2018 to December 2020 were collected and sorted out. The data set was randomly divided into a training set (n = 249 ) and a test set (n = 106 ) according to 7 : 3. The BPNN model and SVM model were constructed to analyze the predictors of total hospitalization expenses. The effectiveness was compared between these two prediction models. Results . The top three influencing factors and their importance for predicting total hospitalization cost by the BPNN model were hospitalization days (0.477), age (0.154), and discharge department (0.083). The top 3 factors predicted by the SVM model were hospitalization days (0.215), age (0.196), and marital status (0.172). The area under the curve of these two models is 0.838 (95% CI: 0.755~0.921) and 0.889 (95% CI: 0.819~0.959), respectively. Conclusion . Both the BPNN model and SVM model can predict the total hospitalization expenses of patients with bronchopneumonia, but the prediction effect of the SVM model is better than the BPNN model.
