Classification of Factors Affecting Preeclampsia in Pregnant Women at RSUP. Dr. M. Djamil Padang using the CART Algorithm

Abstract

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disease characterized by hypertension and proteinuria that occurs after 20 weeks of gestation. Preeclampsia itself is caused by various factors that can influence the occurrence of preeclampsia in pregnant women, including age, parity, history of hypertension, obesity, and kidney disorders. This study aims to determine the risk factors influencing preeclampsia based on preeclampsia diagnosis at RSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang by classifying each variable using a decision tree. This research employs the CART (Classification and Regression Tree) algorithm. The CART algorithm has a binary nature and can analyze response variables that are either categorical or continuous, handle data with missing values, and produce an interpretable tree structure. The study results indicate that the primary risk factor for preeclampsia is parity. The model developed using the CART algorithm was tested using a confusion matrix, yielding an accuracy of 54%, a precision of 33.3% in correctly classifying patients with mild preeclampsia (PER), and a recall of 23.8% in classifying patients with severe preeclampsia (PEB).
