bookChallenge: Diagnosis Frequency Report

Veeg om het menu te tonen

Generating reports about diagnosis frequency is a common task in healthcare analytics, helping hospital administrators understand which conditions are most prevalent in their facilities. You are provided with a DataFrame containing a column labeled "diagnosis", and your goal is to analyze the frequency of each unique diagnosis, sort them in descending order, and print the top three most common diagnoses. This mirrors the process of creating summary reports that inform resource allocation and planning.

To accomplish this, you will use the pandas library, which is well-suited for handling tabular healthcare data. The workflow involves counting the occurrences of each diagnosis, sorting the counts, and displaying the most frequent diagnoses.

import pandas as pd # Example DataFrame with a 'diagnosis' column data = { 'diagnosis': [ 'Hypertension', 'Diabetes', 'Hypertension', 'Asthma', 'Diabetes', 'Hypertension', 'Asthma', 'Asthma', 'Diabetes', 'Hypertension' ] } df = pd.DataFrame(data) # Calculate the frequency of each unique diagnosis diagnosis_counts = df['diagnosis'].value_counts() # Sort the results in descending order (already sorted by value_counts) # Print the top 3 most common diagnoses top_3 = diagnosis_counts.head(3) print("Top 3 most common diagnoses:") print(top_3)

This script demonstrates a typical approach for summarizing diagnosis data. The value_counts() function computes the frequency of each unique value in the "diagnosis" column, and head(3) selects the top three. You would adapt this pattern to your own datasets to generate similar reports.

Now, apply this approach to a new DataFrame. Your task is to write code that calculates and prints the top three most common diagnoses in a given dataset.

Taak

Swipe to start coding

  • Use the provided DataFrame df with a "diagnosis" column.
  • Calculate the frequency of each unique diagnosis.
  • Sort the results in descending order.
  • Print the top 3 most common diagnoses.

Do not use globals() to access df. Assume df is defined in the code.
