Machine learning to predict pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review, synthesizing framework and future research agenda.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
Machine Learning (ML) has been widely used in predicting the mode of childbirth and assessing the potential maternal risks during pregnancy. The primary aim of this review study is to explore current research and development perspectives that utilize...

Prediction of low Apgar score at five minutes following labor induction intervention in vaginal deliveries: machine learning approach for imbalanced data at a tertiary hospital in North Tanzania.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Prediction of low Apgar score for vaginal deliveries following labor induction intervention is critical for improving neonatal health outcomes. We set out to investigate important attributes and train popular machine learning (ML) algorit...

Using deep learning to predict the outcome of live birth from more than 10,000 embryo data.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Recently, the combination of deep learning and time-lapse imaging provides an objective, standard and scientific solution for embryo selection. However, the reported studies were based on blastocyst formation or clinical pregnancy as the ...

An early model to predict the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in the absence of blood examination indexes: application in primary health care centres.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the critical causes of adverse perinatal outcomes. A reliable estimate of GDM in early pregnancy would facilitate intervention plans for maternal and infant health care to prevent the risk of ...

Machine learning guided postnatal gestational age assessment using new-born screening metabolomic data in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Babies born early and/or small for gestational age in Low and Middle-income countries (LMICs) contribute substantially to global neonatal and infant mortality. Tracking this metric is critical at a population level for informed policy, ad...

Proposing a machine-learning based method to predict stillbirth before and during delivery and ranking the features: nationwide retrospective cross-sectional study.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Stillbirth is defined as fetal loss in pregnancy beyond 28 weeks by WHO. In this study, a machine-learning based method is proposed to predict stillbirth from livebirth and discriminate stillbirth before and during delivery and rank the f...

Evaluation of incomplete maternal smoking data using machine learning algorithms: a study from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: The Medical Birth Registry of Norway (MBRN) provides national coverage of all births. While retrieval of most of the information in the birth records is mandatory, mothers may refrain to provide information on her smoking status. The prop...

"Hypothyroidism screening during first trimester of pregnancy".

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone level with a normal thyroxin level without signs or symptoms of hypothyroidism. Although it is well accepted that overt hypothyroidism has a deleterious impa...
