BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Low birth weight is one of the primary causes of child mortality and several diseases of future life in developing countries, especially in Southern Asia. The main objective of this study is to determine the risk factors of ...
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a condition in which the fetal weight is below the 10th percentile for its gestational age. Prenatal exposure to metals can cause a decrease in fetal growth during gestation thereby reducing birth weight. The...
The current study aimed to predict final body weight (weight of fourth months of age to select the future reproducers) by using birth weight, birth type, sex, suckling weight, age at suckling weight, weaning weight, age at weaning weight, and age of ...
BACKGROUND: Low birthweight (LBW) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality in the United States and a major causative factor of adverse health effects in newborns. Identifying high-risk patients early in prenatal care is crucial to preventing adverse...
BACKGROUND: Despite declines in infant death rates in recent decades in the United States, the national goal of reducing infant death has not been reached. This study aims to predict infant death using machine-learning approaches.
OBJECTIVES: To develop a deep-learning method for whole-body fetal segmentation based on MRI; to assess the method's repeatability, reproducibility, and accuracy; to create an MRI-based normal fetal weight growth chart; and to assess the sensitivity ...
PURPOSE: For successful prevention and intervention, it is important to unravel the complex constellation of factors that affect neurocognitive functioning after pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission. This study aims (1) to elucidate the pot...
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal data in health informatics studies often present challenges due to sparse observations from each subject, limiting the application of contemporary deep learning for prediction. This issue is particularly relevant in predictin...
Our aim was to develop a machine learning-based predictor for early mortality and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very-low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants in Taiwan. We collected retrospective data from VLBW infants, dividing them int...

INTRODUCTION: The correlation between radiation exposure before pregnancy and abnormal birth weight has been previously proven. However, for large-for-gestational-age (LGA) babies in women exposed to radiation before becoming pregnant, there is no pr...
