Abstract

Osteoporosis is a silent disease before significant fragility fractures despite its high prevalence, and its screening rate is low. In predictive healthcare analytics, the Elman recurrent neural network (ERNN) has been widely used as a learning technique. Traditional learning algorithms have some limitations, such as slow convergence rates and local minima that prevent gradient descent from finding the global minimum of the error function. The main goal is to precisely estimate each individual's risk of developing osteoporosis. These forecasts are essential for prompt diagnosis and treatment, which have a significant influence on patient outcomes. Hence, the present research focuses on making a more efficient prediction method based on an optimized Elman recurrent neural network (ERNN) for predicting osteoporosis diseases. An optimized ERNN method, IBCO-ERNN, improved bacterial colony optimization (IBCO) by optimizing the ERNN weights and biases. The IBCO approach uses an iterative local search (ILS) algorithm to enhance convergence rate and avoid the local optima problem of conventional BCO. Subsequently, the IBCO is used to optimize the ERNN's weights and biases, thereby improving convergence speed and detection rate. The effectiveness of IBCO-ERNN is evaluated using four different types of osteoporosis datasets: Femoral neck, Lumbar spine, Femoral and Spine, and BMD datasets. The proposed IBCO-ERNN produced higher accuracy at 95.61%, 96.26%, 97.26%, and 97.54 % for the Femoral neck, Lumbar spine, Femoral, and Spine datasets, respectively. The experimental findings demonstrated that, compared with other predictors, the proposed IBCO-ERNN achieved respectable accuracy and rapid convergence.
