Abstract

Finding risk factors in pregnancy related to neonatal hypoxia is a challenging task due to the informal nature and a wide scatter of the data. In this work, we propose a methodology for sequential estimation of interestingness of association rules with two sets of criteria. The rules suggest that a strong relationship exists between the specific sets of attributes and the diagnosis. We set up a profile of the pregnant woman with a high likelihood of hypoxia of the newborn that would be beneficial to medical professionals.
