1. A medical diagnosis support apparatus which provides information for supporting medical diagnosis, the apparatus comprising:

  • at least one CPU and a memory operatively coupled to function as;

    an acquisition unit configured to acquire medical information associated with a diagnosis target as input information;

    an inference unit configured to infer a diagnosis name of the diagnosis target as an inference result based on the acquired input information, wherein the diagnosis name exhibits a highest inference probability;

    a calculation unit configured to calculate an influence rate of the acquired input information with respect to each inference; and

    a creation unit configured to create a report sentence based on the calculated influence rate,wherein the creation unit is configured to select terms from the input information,wherein the creation unit is configured toselect a first set of terms from the input information, each of the first set of terms having an influence rate equal to or less than a first threshold concerning negative influences, and select a second set of terms from the input information, each of the second set of terms having an influence rate equal to or more than a second threshold concerning positive influences,select a first predetermined number of terms, from the first set of terms, to be applied to the report sentence in descending or ascending order of negative influence rate on the inference result, and select a second predetermined number of terms, from the second set of terms, to be applied to the report sentence in descending or ascending order of positive influence rate on the inference result, anddetermine an order of writing of the selected first and second predetermined number of terms based on the descending or ascending order of the negative influence rate and the descending or ascending order of the positive influence rate, and change a modification structure of the selected first and second predetermined number of terms based on whether terms written in the report sentence have a positive influence rate on the inference result or a negative influence rate on the inference result.
