Classification tree to screen for the nursing diagnosis Ineffective airway clearance
2018
OBJECTIVE: to identify the defining characteristics of Ineffective airway clearance with better predictive power using classification trees. METHOD: the predictive power of the defining characteristics of Ineffective airway clearance was evaluated based on classification trees generated from the data of 249 children with acute respiratory infection. RESULTS: Ineffective cough and adventitious breath sounds were identified as the main defining characteristics when screening for Ineffective airway clearance in accordance with trees based on three different computational algorithms. CONCLUSION: Ineffective coughing and adventitious breath sounds had better predictive capacity for Ineffective airway clearance in the sample.
