Data Mining for Identifying Novel Associations and Temporal Relationships with Charcot Foot

Figure 2

Association diagram displaying the new or poorly known diagnoses association with Charcot foot listed in Table 2 (red nodes). The red node in the center of the square is Charcot foot. Note that all of the red nodes are associated with Charcot foot, as reported in Table 2, even if they are not connected to Charcot foot in the figure. The reason is that the thresholds used to build the diagram were lower than the 𝑃 values of some of the associations. This was done to reduce the large number of other connections that would have appeared with the nodes displayed. Temporal relationships are not shown in this figure. This figure was made using the following criteria: association 𝑃 value < 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵⁴; association odds ratio > 50; temporal 𝑃 value not considered.
