Abstract

Back pain is one of the most important causes of disability. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) can help physicians diagnose diseases with greater precision. This study designs and implements a CDSS to diagnose non-mechanical low back pain (LBP), including spinal brucellosis, ankylosing spondylitis, spinal tuberculosis, and spinal osteoarthritis using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The highest corrected classification percentage was related to spinal brucellosis (82.8%), and CDSS was able to differentiate four non-mechanical LBP types.
