Machine Learning Methods to Evaluate the Depression Status of Chinese Recruits: A Diagnostic Study

Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment
Mengxue Zhao, Zhengzhi Feng

Abstract

Traditional questionnaires assessing the severity of depression are limited and might not be appropriate for military personnel. We intend to explore the diagnostic ability of three machine learning methods for evaluating the depression status of Chinese recruits, using the Chinese version of Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) as the standard. Our diagnostic study was carried out in Luoyang City (Henan Province, China; 10/16/2018-12/10/2018) with a sample of 1000 Chinese male recruits selected using cluster convenient sampling. All participants completed the BDI and 3 questionnaires including the data of demographics, military careers and 18 factors. The participants were randomly selected as the training set and the testing at 2:1. The machine learning methods tested for assessing the presence or absence of depression status were neural network (NN), support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree (DT). A total of 1000 participants completed the questionnaires, with 223 reporting depression status and 777 not. The highest sensitivity was observed for DT (94.1%), followed by SVM (93.4%) and NN (93.1%). The highest specificity was observed for NN (60.0%), followed by SVM (58.8%) and DT (43.3%). The area under the curve (AUC) ...Continue Reading

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
