Objectives: Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious illness caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The initial symptoms of TB are similar to other respiratory illnesses, posing diagnostic challenges. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to design a novel decision-support system under a bipolar intuitionistic fuzzy environment to examine an effective TB diagnosing method.
Methods: To achieve the aim, a novel fuzzy decision support system is derived by integrating PROMETHEE and ARAS techniques. This technique evaluates TB diagnostic methods under the bipolar intuitionistic fuzzy context. Moreover, the defuzzification algorithm is proposed to convert the bipolar intuitionistic fuzzy score into crisp score.
Results: The proposed method found that the sputum test (T) is the most accurate in diagnosing TB. Additionally, comparative and sensitivity analyses are derived to show the proposed method's efficiency.
Conclusion: The proposed bipolar intuitionistic fuzzy sets, combined with the PROMETHEE-ARAS techniques, proved to be a valuable tool for assessing effective TB diagnosing methods.

Bipolar intuitionistic fuzzy graphs (BIFG) are an extension of fuzzy graphs that can effectively capture uncertain or imprecise information in various applications. In graph theory, the covering, matching, and domination problems are benchmark concepts applied to various domains. These concepts may not be defined precisely using a crisp graph when the vertices and edges are more uncertain.

The isometry in crisp graph theory is a well-known fact. But, isometry under a fuzzy environment was developed recently and studied many facts. In a m-polar fuzzy graph, we have to think m components for each node and edge.

The intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and bipolar fuzzy set (BFS) are all effective models to describe ambiguous and incomplete cognitive knowledge with membership, non-membership, negative membership, and hesitancy sections. But in daily life problems, there are some situations where we cannot apply the ordinary models of IFS and BFS, separately. Hence, there is a need to combine both the models of IFS and BFS into a single one.

Fermatean fuzzy set theory is emerging as a novel mathematical tool to handle uncertainties in different domains of real world. Fermatean fuzzy sets were presented in order that uncertain information from quite general real-world decision-making situations could be mathematically tractable. To that purpose, these sets are more flexible and reliable than intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy sets.
