The study aimed to identify risk factors for childhood wasting in 1-2 year-olds in Hamadan city, focusing on this age group due to infection and malnutrition risks. Unlike previous cross-sectional studies on children under 5 years old, this longitudinal study tracked weight-to-height changes over time. Data were analyzed from 455 mother-child pairs, aged 1-2 years, collected from health centers and recorded in the Integrated Electronic Health System (SIB).

The aim of this study was to provide models based on data mining approaches (C5.0 decision tree and logistic regression model [LRM]) and choose a top model for predicting OSA without polysomnography (PSG) devices that is a standard method for diagnosis of this disease, to identify patients with this syndrome payment.

This study aimed to compare the performance of two data mining techniques, support vector machine (SVM), and logistic regression (LR), in diagnosing OSA. The best-fit model was used as a substitute for polysomnography (PSG), which is the gold standard for diagnosing this disease.
