  • PatientId Identification of a patient

Our Boolean Virables Where

  • Hipertension
  • Diabetes
  • Alcoholism
  • Handicap
  • No-show and Scholarship

Insight

  • We Noticed that
  1. Most people with Hadicaps did Show Up for thier appointments
  2. Hypertension most mostly found in Patient Age above 60 and but less in patient aged 80 __results___51_1 __results___59_0

Our Limitations

Our Invesgitation revealed that Hypertensive Patients don't always show up for hospital appointment.We also saw that patients with handicaps where not classified like other patient that is as Been either handicap or not but each patient with handicaps was classified according to the number of handicaps they have. Moreover the data provided on Patients with handicap was limited we had more patients with no handicap and less with handicaps and also dropping duplicate columns reduced the quqntity of patient data we had this result to us not been able to prove wethere or not the patient's handicap was a preventing factor for not showing up.Therefore the Insufficent of data might cause our results to not be completely error free and having more data on the patients will help us Know better if the fact that patients have a handicap is more of a preventive factor than hypertension or not.

Conclusion

In our dataset we discovered our Preventive Factor was Hypertension We also also saw that some patients could have more than one handicap but this didn't account for them not showingup for and appointment we also attributed this to the fact that we had more Patients with no handicap and less patient with a handicap And finally we saw that patients affected by Hypertension lie mostly between the Ages of 20 to about 100
