BACKGROUND: Disease pathogenic factors are complicated. There is not an effective method to analyze large sample data mining, and application ability of information technology of clinical doctors needs to be improved. OBJECTIVE: Using BP algorithm of artificial neural network to analyze large sample clinical cases, in order to explore inner relations between disease pathogenic factors and diseases.METHODS: Take hypertension for example, medical data of patients with hypertension in a traditional Chinese medical hospital served as experimental data, and the influence factors of the disease were simulated with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services, the mining data was analyzed, and a single query was used as prediction and decision support.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Analysis of effect of disease pathogenic factors on disease itself based on artificial neural network with BP algorithm has good predictive effect in clinical diagnosis, which is of benefit to enhance the diagnostic efficiency of medical personnel using information technology.
