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...
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 ...
Flexible estimation of multiple conditional quantiles is of interest in numerous applications, such as studying the effect of pregnancy-related factors on low and high birth weight. We propose a Bayesian nonparametric method to simultaneously estimat...
There is increasing evidence that patient heterogeneity significantly hinders advancement in clinical trials and individualized care. This study aimed to identify distinct phenotypes in extremely low birth weight infants. We performed an agglomerativ...
BACKGROUND: While previous studies identified risk factors for diverse pregnancy outcomes, traditional statistical methods had limited ability to quantify their impacts on birth outcomes precisely. We aimed to use a novel approach that applied differ...
Premature birth is the primary risk factor in neonatal deaths, with the majority of extremely premature babies cared for in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Mortality risk prediction in this setting can greatly improve patient outcomes and reso...
BACKGROUND: This study introduced machine learning approaches to predict newborn's body mass index (BMI) based on ultrasound measures and maternal/delivery information.
PURPOSE: Stage is an important feature to identify in retinal images of infants at risk of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The purpose of this study was to implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) for binary detection of stages 1, 2, and 3 in...

BACKGROUND: Birthweight is an important indicator during the fetal development process to protect the maternal and infant safety. However, birthweight is difficult to be directly measured, and is usually roughly estimated by the empirical formulas ac...
BACKGROUND/AIM: To automatically detect and classify the early stages of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN).
