[An assessment approach to the adequacy of peritoneal dialysis based on modified MART2 network].
Against the large number of assessment indices to the adequacy peritoneal dialysis and incompatibility of some indices, an intelligent assessment approach to the peritoneal dialysis adequacy based on MART2 (modified from ART2) network is proposed. After non-dimension and weighting preconditioning, the assessment indices were put to MART2 and sorted into many clusters. The center-of-gravity of each cluster was identified as adequacy or inadequacy according to the assessment criteria of dialysis adequacy, and the adequacy of each cluster could be determined by the adequacy of corresponding center-of-gravity when the network threshold was high. Finally, the peritoneal dialysis adequacy of each patient could be judged according to the adequacy of cluster to which the patients' indices belong. Experimental results demounstrate its effectiveness.
