Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence and rapid advancement of information-driven methodologies have significantly transformed the field of medical diagnostics and decision-making. The integration of computer-aided diagnosis and decision support systems in recent years has led to notable improvements in diagnostic accuracy, treatment planning, and patient outcomes. These advancements harness the capabilities of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data analytics to provide enhanced insights and support to healthcare professionals.

We invite researchers to submit original research articles that delve into the development, implementation, and impact of these advanced systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, machine learning algorithms in healthcare, AI-driven diagnostic tools, predictive modeling, clinical decision support systems, and the integration of healthcare informatics in clinical settings. By contributing to this Special Issue, you will help advance our understanding and the application of cutting-edge technologies in healthcare, ultimately leading to better patient care and clinical efficiency.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disease characterised by the immune-mediated destruction of peripheral blood platelets in patients leading to low platelet counts and bleeding. The diagnosis and effective management of ITP are challenging because there is no established test to confirm the disease and no biomarker with which one can predict the response to treatment and outcome. In this work, we conduct a feasibility study to check if machine learning can be applied effectively for the diagnosis of ITP using routine blood tests and demographic data in a non-acute outpatient setting. Various ML models, including Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine, k-Nearest Neighbor, Decision Tree and Random Forest, were applied to data from the UK Adult ITP Registry and a general haematology clinic. Two different approaches were investigated: a demographic-unaware and a demographic-aware one. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the predictive performance of these models and approaches, as well as their bias. The results revealed that Decision Tree and Random Forest models were both superior and fair, achieving nearly perfect predictive and fairness scores, with platelet count identified as the most significant variable. Models not provided with demographic information performed better in terms of predictive accuracy but showed lower fairness scores, illustrating a trade-off between predictive performance and fairness.
