Predicting determinants of unimproved water supply in Ethiopia using machine learning analysis of EDHS-2019 data.

Scientific reports
Over 2 billion people worldwide are impacted by the global dilemma of access to clean and safe drinking water. The problem is most acute in low-income nations, where many people still use unimproved water sources such as exposed wells and surface wat...

Machine learning algorithms to predict khat chewing practice and its predictors among men aged 15 to 59 in Ethiopia: further analysis of the 2011 and 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Khat chewing is a significant public health issue in Ethiopia, influenced by various demographic factors. Understanding the prevalence and determinants of khat chewing practices is essential to developing targeted interventions. Therefo...

Improving machine learning models through explainable AI for predicting the level of dietary diversity among Ethiopian preschool children.

Italian journal of pediatrics
BACKGROUND: Child nutrition in Ethiopia is a significant concern, particularly for preschool-aged children. Children must have a varied diet to ensure they receive all the essential nutrients for good health. Unfortunately, many children in Ethiopia ...

Machine learning applications to classify and monitor medication adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes in Ethiopia.

Frontiers in endocrinology
BACKGROUND: Medication adherence plays a crucial role in determining the health outcomes of patients, particularly those with chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes. Despite its significance, there is limited evidence regarding the use of machine le...

Causal machine learning models for predicting low birth weight in midwife-led continuity care intervention in North Shoa Zone, Ethiopia.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Low birth weight (LBW) is a critical global health issue that affects infants disproportionately, particularly in developing countries. This study adopted causal machine learning (CML) algorithms for predicting LBW in newborns, drawing fr...

Ensemble learning to predict short birth interval among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia: evidence from EDHS 2016-2019.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: A birth interval of less than 33 months was considered short, and in low- income countries like Ethiopia, a short birth interval is the primary cause of approximately 822 maternal deaths every day. Due to that this study aimed to predict ...

Integration of remote sensing and machine learning algorithm for agricultural drought early warning over Genale Dawa river basin, Ethiopia.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Drought remains a menace in the Horn of Africa; as a result, the Ethiopia's Genale Dawa River Basin is one of the most vulnerable to agricultural drought. Hence, this study integrates remote sensing and machine learning algorithm for early warning id...

Developing clinical prognostic models to predict graft survival after renal transplantation: comparison of statistical and machine learning models.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
INTRODUCTION: Renal transplantation is a critical treatment for end-stage renal disease, but graft failure remains a significant concern. Accurate prediction of graft survival is crucial to identify high-risk patients. This study aimed to develop pro...

Prediction of stunting and its socioeconomic determinants among adolescent girls in Ethiopia using machine learning algorithms.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Stunting is a vital indicator of chronic undernutrition that reveals a failure to reach linear growth. Investigating growth and nutrition status during adolescence, in addition to infancy and childhood is very crucial. However, the availa...

The application of machine learning approaches to classify and predict fertility rate in Ethiopia.

Scientific reports
Integrating machine learning (ML) models into healthcare systems is a rapidly evolving field with the potential to revolutionize care delivery. This study aimed to classify fertility rates and identify significant predictors using ML models among rep...
