To reduce the effects of preeclampsia, many studies have investigated the disease, prevention, and complication. Conventional fuzzy inference techniques can solve several diagnosis problems in health such as fuzzy inference systems (FIS), and Mamdani complex fuzzy inference systems with rule reduction (M-CFIS-R), however, the computation time is quite high. Recently, the research direction of approximate inference based on fuzzy knowledge graph (FKG) has been proposed in the M-CFIS-FKG model with the combination of regimens in traditional medicine and subclinical data gathered from medical records. The paper has presented a proposed model of FKG-Pairs3 to support patients\u2019 disease diagnosis, together with doctors\u2019 preferences in decision-making. The proposed model has been implemented in real-world applications for disease diagnosis in traditional medicine based on input data sets with vague information, quantified by doctor\u2019s preferences. To validate the proposed model, it has been tested in a real-world case study of preeclampsia signs in a hospital for disease diagnosis with the traditional medicine approach. Experimental results show that the proposed model has demonstrated the model\u2019s effectiveness in the decision-making of preeclampsia signs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info14020104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]],"date-time":"2023-02-08T01:32:05Z","timestamp":1675819925000},"page":"104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["A Fuzzy Knowledge Graph Pairs-Based Application for Classification in Decision Making: Case Study of Preeclampsia Signs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1547-9782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hai Van","family":"Pham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Communication Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cu Kim","family":"Long","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Communication Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"},{"name":"Information Technology Center, Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phan Hung","family":"Khanh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Communication Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST), Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ha Quoc","family":"Trung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Technology Center, Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Hanoi 100000, Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2011).
