摘要

Background

Chikungunya is an arbovirus capable of affecting the musculoskeletal system of infected individuals. Furthermore, it has the potential to progress from the acute to the chronic phase, marked by the prevalence of symptoms of arthralgia. Joint pain compromises the performance of daily activities, including psychological, economic, and physical functioning.

Methods

Through the use of data science techniques, such as data analysis, evaluation, and visualization, the aim is to understand the influence of pain points on disease progression. Furthermore, we also evaluate artificial intelligence models to calculate the likelihood of patients progressing to a chronic phase.

Results

The data analysis showed that arthralgia was reported by 97.70% of the sample (339 cases), followed by 74.06% edema (257 cases), 36.31% low back pain (126 cases) and 34.58% myalgia (120 cases), being factors that are related to chronicity. The artificial intelligence models have achieved metrics above 60%, demonstrating potential for estimating the likelihood of a patient’s progression to the chronic phase.

Conclusions

Based on these estimates, healthcare professionals can adopt preventive measures capable of mitigating the disease’s impacts. Implementing these models in the decision-making process becomes an important ally in the fight against Chikungunya in Brazil, helping to mitigate the social and economic impacts caused by the chronic phase.
