Classification of Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease using Machine Learning

Abstract Paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD), comprising Crohn’s disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and inflammatory bowel disease unclassified (IBDU) is a complex and multifactorial condition with increasing incidence. An accurate diagnosis of PIBD is necessary for a prompt and effectiv...
