title: [Application of the rough set theory in the prognostication of the diabetic nephropathy prevalence. Preliminary communication].
abstract: The following aspects were evaluated by rough set methods in 107 patients aged 5-22 and suffering from insulin dependent diabetes for 2-13 years: sex, age at which the disease was diagnosed, time of disease, family anamnesis, criteria of the metabolic balance, type of the applied insulin therapy and presence or absence of microalbuminuria. Mathematical analysis showed that the most significant aspects were: age at which the disease began, HbA1c and time of the disease lasting. The above aspects influence incidence of microalbuminuria in children suffering from diabetes type I.
