The Module for Predicting Complications after Bone Marrow Transplantation in Children with Leukemia

The paper presents the program module that estimates the probability of complications after the bone marrow trans-plantation. The shown approach is based on a logistic regression. The medical database containing the records of 155 patients aged from 5 to 21 is used. The program module contains a detailed graphical representation of the results in the form of a ROC curve, the calculated values of true and false predictions as well as likelihood ratio of the obtained val-ues. The areas of reliable and unreliable predictions as well as the area where predictions are impossible are highlighted on the chart.
