Abstract

Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a deteriorating disease that affects human knee joints leading to impaired quality of life with no curative treatments. Timely detection of KOA will guarantee its good management, prevent cartilage impairment and reduce its rate of progression. To heighten its early detection. Objective: This study developed a machine learning ensemble model that improves early clinical diagnosis of the risk of KOA in Adults. Method: The diagnostic results of three machine learning diagnostic models were combined with two ensemble methods proposed to improve the diagnosis of KOA risks. KOA patient dataset used for the modeling of the diagnostic models was obtained from the Federal Medical Hospital located in Ido-Ekiti, Nigeria. Results and Conclusion: The diagnostic result of the base diagnoses models shows higher accuracy than similar recently reviewed research in the literature. Diagnoses results of the two ensemble models confirm their abilities to improve the results of the base models. From the comparison of the diagnoses of the ensemble methods, the Multi Response Linear Regression model leads with 97.77% followed by the Majority Voting model with 96.54% diagnostic accuracy. The Statistical tests employed in this study, validated the ranking of the results recorded by each of the diagnostic models.
