Abstract:
This paper aims to predict the probability of infection of children infected with intestinal parasites, and determining the most important factors affecting the disease and their strength and impact by using logistic regression model. Data were collected from Bahri Teaching Hospital, Internal Medicine Department, from the record of reviews of injured children with sample size of 300 individuals, 150 were infected. The data focused on the variables of gender, age, family history disease, drinking contaminated water, fever, anaemia, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and vomiting. The result of the study that there is a significant effect of vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and fever on the infection of intestinal parasites, the model used has a high accuracy, as it has a high classification ability (70%) and the probability of error in classification was very small, as it reached (30%). This indicates the ability of model to correctly classify the sample members.
