Ihama E.I., Omozuwa E.S. . A Comparison of a Web based Intelligent Decision Support System for Early Diagnosis of Hepatitis and a Manual System. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 50 ( Mar 2023), 11-14. DOI=10.5120/ijca2023922619
The liver is a very important organ in the human body; it helps in processing nutrient, filtration of the blood and also helps in fighting infections. If the liver is damaged, it can lead to serious health challenge, such as hepatitis virus. Hepatitis infections are major causes of disease death globally; there is need for a system that can detect the infection early, due to the challenging nature of this disease. In this paper, we shall discuss the different classes of hepatitis, causes, and preventive measures. We also discussed a centralized (web-based) diagnostic decision support system for early detection of the disease and do a comparison of a manual system and the web based decision support system, with a view in bringing out the benefit of the web based over the manual method. The centralized system was developed using PHP as front-end with MYSQL as the back-end.
