title = "Prediction of hydroxyurea effect on sickle cell anemia patients using machine learning method",
abstract = "The objective of this paper is to predict the effect of hydroxyurea of individuals suffering from Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) using predictive machine learning techniques. Nowadays worldwide sickle cell disease becomes the most common inherited disease, which remains associated with long life morbidity and makes life expectancy low or we can say it reduces the lifespan of the concerned person. To overcome such diseases, a chemotherapeutic drug Hydroxyurea is taken by the concerned patient to re-mediate clinical problems of sickle cell disease. This paper discusses the use of a machine learning approach to predict the effects of the drug Hydroxyurea (HU) treatment in different sickle cell anemic patients. Fetal hemoglobin before and after treatment of HU establishes the basis for classification. Support vector machine has been used for classification and the dataset is rigorously analyzed for different data division methods and we got the maximum accuracy level of 94\%.",
