ABSTRACT
Early clots and thrombosis to the progress of stenosis leading to arteriovenous shunt dysfunction occurs at the venous anastomsis site or the outflow vein. To prevent vascular access complications, such as inflow or outflow stenosis, this study proposes a computerized decision support system combining feature extraction methods and a non-cooperative game (NCG)-based decision-making model to evaluate arteriovenous shunt stenosis in clinical usages. Feature extraction methods, including the Burg autoregressive (AR) method and the fractional-order self-synchronization error formulation, are used to estimate the characteristic frequencies and to quantify the differences between the reference data and the routine examination data, in terms of the degree of stenosis (DOS). For 42 long-term follow-up patients, a less parameterized NCG model is then used to identify the possible level of stenosis. A novel screening model might be further built on an embedded system, for portable medical screening applications.
