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...

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...

Assessing fecal contamination from human and environmental sources using as an indicator in rural eastern Ethiopian households-a cross-sectional study from the EXCAM project.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Enteric pathogens are a leading causes of diarrheal deaths in low-and middle-income countries. The Exposure Assessment of Infections in Rural Ethiopia (EXCAM) project, aims to identify potential sources of bacteria in the genus and, m...

Optimizing hypertension prediction using ensemble learning approaches.

PloS one
Hypertension (HTN) prediction is critical for effective preventive healthcare strategies. This study investigates how well ensemble learning techniques work to increase the accuracy of HTN prediction models. Utilizing a dataset of 612 participants fr...

Leveraging machine learning models for anemia severity detection among pregnant women following ANC: Ethiopian context.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: Anemia during pregnancy is a significant public health concern, particularly in resource-limited settings. Machine learning (ML) offers promising avenues for improved anemia detection and management. This study investigates the potential ...

Prediction of acute respiratory infections using machine learning techniques in Amhara Region, Ethiopia.

Scientific reports
Many studies have shown that infectious diseases are responsible for the majority of deaths in children under five. Among these children, Acute Respiratory Infections is the most prevalent illness and cause of death worldwide. Acute respiratory infec...
