Abstract

BACKGROUND: The HELLP syndrome represents three complications: hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count. Since the causes and pathogenesis of HELLP syndrome are not yet fully known and well understood, distinguishing it from other pregnancy-related disorders is complicated. Furthermore, late diagnosis leads to a delay in treatment, which challenges disease management. The present study aimed to present a machine learning (ML) attitude for diagnosing HELLP syndrome based on non-invasive parameters.
