Background: From the epidemiological point of view, certain factors involved in the appearance of varicose veins are preponderant such as multiple pregnancies, age, and also certain races. Physiologically, venous valve dysfunction can also be a factor. Here, radiologists intervene to determine venous insufficiency. Doppler ultrasound (US) and tomography are often the most used in this detection. Certain other factors contribute to their recidivism. Aims: Some factors that occur in the recurrence of varicose veins are extrinsic such as age, sex, or genetic factor. On the other hand, certain factors are linked to an inadequate surgical procedure that can be partly explained by a poor radiological or methodological reading. The aim of this study is to prevent recurring complications that may occur the analysis of the factors of these is necessary. Materials and Methods: In our study, 62 patients were operated in our general surgery department during the period from January 2016 to September 2017. The pre-operative clinical examination included, among others, the radiological examination using a Doppler US. Patients who have had a recurrence are classified from the identification of the possible causes. Since the causes are complex and vary from one person to another, this makes them very difficult to analyze by conventional methods. We proposed an intelligent system based on artificial neural networks. Results: Once the system is established, this will identify the most important factor in the recurrence of varicose veins. By randomly changing the parameters at the input one by one and we record the effect that each produces on the recurrence rate at the output. Conclusion: The proposed system with its very strong inters connectivity, and the support of all possible combinations with the weight of each factor makes it possible to extract the predominant cause. With its learning from the real values recorded, and the optimal function created between the two input-output spaces, it becomes very easy to identify the main cause that leads to recidivism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
