Application of causal forest double machine learning (DML) approach to assess tuberculosis preventive therapy's impact on ART adherence.

Scientific reports
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is critical for HIV treatment success, yet the impact of tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) remains inadequately understood. Using observational data from 4152 HIV patients in Ethiopia (2005-2024), we appl...

Predicting stunting status among under five children in ethiopia using ensemblemachine learning algorithms.

Scientific reports
Childhood stunting is a persistent public health challenge in Ethiopia, significantly impacting children's physical growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. This study overcame a key limitation in previous stunting prediction models by ...

Forecasting birth trends in Ethiopia using time-series and machine-learning models: a secondary data analysis of EDHS surveys (2000-2019).

BMJ open
OBJECTIVE: Ethiopia, the second most populous country in Africa, faces significant demographic transitions, with fertility rates playing a central role in shaping economic and healthcare policies. Family planning programmes face challenges due to fun...

Predicting antiretroviral therapy adherence status of adult HIV-positive patients using machine-learning Northwest, Ethiopia, 2025.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Adherence with Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) reduces viral load, as well as HIV-related morbidity and mortality. Despite the expanded availability of ART, non-adherence remains a series problem, leads increased viral load, a decline CD4 c...

Understanding the determinants of treated bed net use in Ethiopia: A machine learning classification approach using PMA Ethiopia 2023 survey data.

PloS one
INTRODUCTION: Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Ethiopia, with over 7.3 million cases and 1,157 deaths reported between January 1 and October 20, 2024. Despite extensive distribution campaigns, 35% of insecticide-treated nets (...

Predicting car accident severity in Northwest Ethiopia: a machine learning approach leveraging driver, environmental, and road conditions.

Scientific reports
Road traffic accidents (RTAs) in Northwest Ethiopia, a region with a fatality rate of 32.2 per 100,000 residents, pose a critical public health challenge exacerbated by infrastructural deficits and environmental hazards. This study leverages machine ...

Machine learning-based drought prediction using Palmer Drought Severity Index and TerraClimate data in Ethiopia.

PloS one
Accurate drought prediction is essential for proactive water management and agricultural planning, especially in regions like Ethiopia that are highly susceptible to climate variability. This study investigates the classification of the Palmer Drough...

Predicting land suitability for wheat and barley crops using machine learning techniques.

Scientific reports
Ensuring food security to meet the demands of a growing population remains a key challenge, especially for developing countries like Ethiopia. There are various policies and strategies designed by the government and stakeholders to confront the chall...

Data-driven machine learning algorithm model for pneumonia prediction and determinant factor stratification among children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia.

BMC infectious diseases
INTRODUCTION: Pneumonia is the leading cause of child morbidity and mortality and accounts for 5.6 million under-five child deaths. Pneumonia has a significant impact on the quality of life, the country's economy, and the survival of children. Theref...

Optimizing machine learning models for predicting anemia among under-five children in Ethiopia: insights from Ethiopian demographic and health survey data.

BMC pediatrics
BACKGROUND: Healthcare practitioners require a robust predictive system to accurately diagnose diseases, especially in young children with conditions such as anemia. Delays in diagnosis and treatment can have severe consequences, potentially leading ...
