The Research on Analyzing Risk Factors of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Based on Improved Frequent Pattern Tree Algorithm

Purpose: We do it to improve the low efficiency in analyzing risk factors of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Apriori Algorithm. Method: We use the patients' data from the information department of one tertiary referral hospital in Lanzhou which include course note of disease and their health record form January 2009 to March 2014. We find out that the improved FP-tree Algorithm analyzes risk factors of type 2 diabetes better. And we analyze the efficiency by programming improved FP-tree and Apriori Algorithm with C-#. Result: We can analyze the chart of time and number of records, time and support degree, main risk factors. Conclusion: The improved FP-tree Algorithm can be used to analyze the risk factors of Diabetes Mellitus and holds a higher efficiency.
