Abstract

As a result of improved living conditions and the progress achieved in areas related to medicine, there is a decrease in the mortality rate but an increase in the number of patients with chronic diseases. Contrary to what happened until a few decades ago, patients with chronic diseases now have a high life expectancy. However, the patients increased life expectancy, often causes great pain and significant adverse effects. In addition to prolonging life, it is essential to increase the quality of life (QoL) of patients. The QoL is now considered an important aspect in clinical practice for patients with chronic illnesses, but the methods to assess QoL, in automatic or semi-automatic manners and their use in clinical decision support are still underexplored and their applications are virtually non-existent. This paper presents an overview of research related to health quality of Life, estimation of quality of life including its continuous estimation, modeling and behavioral recognition and representation of knowledge in this area and decision support systems for clinical decision making and quality of life related applications.

有关生活质量的临床决策支持系统的调查

由于生活条件的改善和医疗领域取得的进展，死亡率有所下降，但慢性病患者人数有所增加。与几十年前的情况相反，慢性病患者现在的预期寿命很高。然而，患者预期寿命的增加，往往会引起极大的疼痛和显著的不良反应。在延长生命的同时，提高患者的生活质量(QoL)至关重要。生活质量是慢性疾病患者临床实践的一个重要方面，但生活质量的自动或半自动评估方法及其在临床决策支持中的应用仍未得到充分探索，其应用几乎不存在。本文概述了与健康生活质量相关的研究，生活质量的估计包括其持续估计，建模和行为识别以及该领域知识的表示，以及临床决策和生活质量相关应用的决策支持系统。
