This dataset was collected from a local clinic in Northern Mindanao, Philippines, and is from April of 2020 to January of 2023. If you are going to use this dataset for further analysis or related research, please cite our work. I would greatly appreciate it.
About
This dataset was collected for the fulfilment of the researchers capstone entitled: Optimizing UTI Diagnosis with Machine Learning and Artificial Neural Network for Reducing Misdiagnoses by Agdeppa et al. (2023). If you wish to acquire the research paper, please message me on my LinkedIn Account: https://tinyurl.com/54nnt2ea
Content
- Age (The age of the patient) Note: Some patients are months old, so the age of these patients are preprocessed by dividing it by a hundred) e.g, 8 MONTHS OLD, 8/100 = 0.08
- Gender (The gender of the patient) Note: Either male or female
- Color (urine color)
- Transparency (urine transparency)
- Glucose (glucose is a type of sugar, and its presence in the urine can be an important indicator of certain health conditions)
- Protein (the presence of protein in the urine is one of the parameters examined to assess kidney function and detect potential)
- pH (the pH level measures the acidity or alkalinity of urine)
- Specific Gravity (urine specific gravity is a measure of the concentration of particles in urine compared to water)
- WBC (White Blood Cells) Note: Also known as leukocytes, white blood cells are a crucial part of the immune system
- RBC (Red Blood Cells) Note: RBC are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body
- Epithelial Cells (epithelial cells are cells that line the surfaces and cavities of the body, including the urinary tract)
- Mucous Threads (mucous threads are strands of mucus that can be present in urine)
- Amorphous Urates (amorphous urates are non-crystalline formations in the urine that consist of uric acid)
- Bacteria (presence of bacteria in the urine)
- Diagnosis (UTI Diagnosis) Note: Either NEGATIVE or POSITIVE
