With the rapid spread of the COVID-19, elderly and individuals with underlying medical issues are at higher risk of developing serious illness; a study conducted in Hungary focuses on exploring patterns of COVID-19 victims with underlying conditions, using age, gender, and medical problems for clustering; results can predict similar cases and serve as a warning for public health professionals to address this deadly disease.
With the wide spread of Coronavirus, most people who infected with the COVID-19, will recover without requiring special treatment. Whereas, elders and those with underlying medical problems are more likely to have serious illnesses, even be threatened with death. Many more disciplines try to find solutions and drive master plan to this global trouble. Consequently, by taking one particular population, Hungary, this study aims to explore a pattern of COVID-19 victims, who suffered from some underlying conditions. Age, gender, and underlying medical problems form the structure of the clustering. K-Means and two step clustering methods were applied for age-based and age-independent analysis. Grouping of the deaths in the form of two different scenarios may highlight some concepts of this deadly disease for public health professionals. Our result for clustering can forecast similar cases which are assigned to any cluster that it will be a serious cautious for the population.
