This work is on the use of data extraction and
processing techniques in extracting data from medical
dataset for analysis was done using data mining
technique and provides useful tips and procedures for an
easier process of obtaining needed data from large
dataset such as medical records. Statistical analysis using
ANOVA was done at the 5% significance level which
indicated a high significance in the infection level for
different states investigated. The system of extraction
has common problems (challenges) and handlings in the
various states were carefully studied for the dataset.
Findings will be of great assist to health organizations in
making informed and concise decisions.
Recommendations were proffered which include among
others, the following, that the fact that existing
classification of medical data should be improved upon.
