Key result
Classification-based data mining predicted that smoking cessation is the best intervention for hypertension in Saudi Arabia, followed by exercise, diet, weight, and drugs.
Why the study?
Which mode of intervention is most appropriate for hypertension management in Saudi patients based on classification-based data mining?
Which mode of intervention is most appropriate for hypertension management in Saudi patients based on classification-based data mining?
A data mining analysis of a 2005 Saudi Arabian dataset identified smoking cessation as the most predictive intervention for hypertension management.

Hypothesis-generating for smoking cessation priority in Saudi hypertension; requires prospective validation before any practice change.
In the present study, we would like to gain the insight of the medical data through classification based data mining technique. The data sets of NCD (Non Communicable Diseases) risk factors, a standard report of Saudi Arabia 2005, in collaboration with WHO (World Health Organisation, 2005) were employed on Saudi hypertension patients. Computing the probability and prediction of hypertension disease intervention are evaluated through ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics). The Area under Curve (AUC) of depicted ROC plots are calculated, the AUC of ROC is the indicative of prediction of the intervention. The AUC of ROC of five hypertension interventions is obtained based on which we distinguish which mode of intervention is more appropriate. Present analysis predicts that smoking cessation is the best intervention followed by exercise, diet, weight and drug for the hypertension intervention in Saudi Arabia.

Aljumah et al. (2014) studied Hypertension. Hypertension interventions (smoking cessation, exercise, diet, weight, and drugs) was evaluated on Prediction of hypertension disease intervention appropriateness (AUC of ROC). Classification-based data mining predicted that smoking cessation is the best intervention for hypertension in Saudi Arabia, followed by exercise, diet, weight, and drugs.
