- Abstract
The number of people dying from drug overdoses in the United States is increasing every year, and most of them are caused by opioids, so it becomes crucial to analyze the use of opioids. Since an important influence on opioid use is the physicians who use opioids, we studied physicians’ medication habits to obtain an analysis of physicians’ opioid use habits and predictions of physicians’ propensity to use opioids. We first analyzed physicians’ opioid use through the physician medication use dataset provided by CMS, and analyzed several opioids that are used more frequently to analyze the correlation of physicians’ behavior toward different types of opioid use. After that, through doctors’ medication habits, for whether doctors will use opioid drugs to make predictions, by constructing support vector machine models, comparing the classification effects of different kernel functions, and finally constructing a classification model with 85% prediction accuracy.
