cancer patients from receiving complex surgical biopsies, unnecessary adjuvant
treatments and its expensive medical cost. Cancer prognosis estimates recurrence of
disease and predict survival of patient; hence resulting in improved patient management.
To develop such knowledge based prognostic system, this thesis examines potential
hybridization of accuracy and interpretability in the form of Fuzzy Logic and Decision
Trees, respectively. Effect of rule weights on fuzzy decision trees is investigated to be an
alternative to membership function modifications for performance optimization.
Experiments were performed using different combinations of: number of decision tree
rules, types of fuzzy membership functions and inference techniques for breast cancer
survival analysis. SEER breast cancer data set (1973-2003), the most comprehensible
source of information on cancer incidence in United States, is considered. Performance
comparisons suggest that predictions of weighted fuzzy decision trees (wFDT) are more
accurate and balanced, than independently applied crisp decision tree classifiers;
moreover it has a potential to adapt for significant performance enhancement.Contents

Abstract
Introduction: Empathy is defined as understanding of patient’s experiences, concern and perceptive, combined with a capacity to communicate and intention to help. Patient takes doctors empathy as his good will for successful treatment of his patient while understanding his misery. This study was designed to in investigate the perception of patients regarding doctor empathy and to examine their satisfaction and personal interest or indications of patient compliance.
Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted between August 1, 2015 50 August 26, 2015. 100 patients selected purposively from OPD and ward. A self-administrated Likert styled questionnaire originally developed by Hojat et al at Jefferson school of Medicine with Urdu translation was administered. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 16.
Results: Among the total of 100 patients, 98%patients accept that their Doctor has been taking care of them, 74% patients were satisfied that the Doctor explain the reason for any test, 94% thought that their Doctor explained things clearly to them, 96% strongly agreed that their doctor had knowledge and skills, 100% were satisfied with the care their doctor provided, while 82%claimed that their doctor encourage them to explain the disease to him, 94% wanted their doctor to be present in any medical emergency.
Conclusions: This study reveals a high degree of patient’s satisfaction with empathy of Doctors of MMCH, although some improvement is still possible.
