This cross-sectional, population-based study in Kashan (3880 randomly interviewed adults aged >15) examined quality of life (QOL) and mental health (MH) following traumatic injuries over the first year, using chi-square and t-tests and a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to predict QOL category and MH status. The authors report that trauma incidence was 70.64 per 1000 annually, that 38.3% of people with trauma had suspected mental disorder, and that 53.3% had good QOL; they also report elevated risk estimates for suspected MH disorders (1.2, 0.96–1.61) and bad QOL (2.6, 1.8–3.7). The RBFNN model achieved high predictive accuracy with a maximum 1% predicting error. This paper is a preprint and not peer-reviewed. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the quality of life (QOL) and mental health (MH) post-trauma in the population over 15 years. Methods: A cross-sectional population-based study, the cluster sampling method was used and 3880 people were interviewed randomly selected individuals between over 15 years in each household in the city of Kashan. Data were analyzed using chi-square, t-test. After data collection, a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) architecture is exploited to predict the QOL category and MH status after traumatic injuries. Results :The rate of trauma was 70.64 (62.60-78.70) in 1000 annually, and 77.73% were male. 38.3% of people with trauma have suspected of having mental disorder and 53.3% of people with injury were in good condition of QOL. The risk of suspected MH disorders in people with trauma during the last year was 1.2(0.96-1.61), and the risk of bad QOL was 2.6(1.8-3.7). The obtained results reveal that the RBFNN model can predict the QOL category and MH status with a high level of accuracy (maximum 1% predicting error). Conclusion :This study reveals several parameters associated with the MH and QOL after trauma. This parameter can be used in prediction outcomes and used to evaluate the care of people with injury. It can also be concluded that the RBFNN predictor can be used for predicting the QOL category and MH status with reasonable authenticity, efficiency, and accuracy.
