Social and economic predictors of under-five stunting in Mexico: a comprehensive approach through the XGB model.

Journal of global health
BACKGROUND: The multifaceted issue of childhood stunting in low- and middle-income countries has a profound and enduring impact on children's well-being, cognitive development, and future earning potential. Childhood stunting arises from a complex in...

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...

Predicting stunting status among under-5 children in Rwanda using neural network model: Evidence from 2020 Rwanda demographic and health survey.

F1000Research
BACKGROUND: Stunting is a serious public health concern in Rwanda, affecting around 33.3% of children under five in 2020. The researchers have employed machine learning algorithms to predict stunting in Rwanda; however, few studies used ANNs, despite...

Unveiling predictive factors for household-level stunting in India: A machine learning approach using NFHS-5 and satellite-driven data.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVES: Childhood stunting remains a significant public health issue in India, affecting approximately 35% of children under 5. Despite extensive research, existing prediction models often fail to incorporate diverse data sources and address the ...

Prediction of undernutrition and identification of its influencing predictors among under-five children in Bangladesh using explainable machine learning algorithms.

PloS one
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Child undernutrition is a leading global health concern, especially in low and middle-income developing countries, including Bangladesh. Thus, the objectives of this study are to develop an appropriate model for predicting ...

Predictive modelling of linear growth faltering among pediatric patients with Diarrhea in Rural Western Kenya: an explainable machine learning approach.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
INTRODUCTION: Stunting affects one-fifth of children globally with diarrhea accounting for an estimated 13.5% of stunting. Identifying risk factors for its precursor, linear growth faltering (LGF), is critical to designing interventions. Moreover, de...

Pituitary MRI Radiomics Improves Diagnostic Performance of Growth Hormone Deficiency in Children Short Stature: A Multicenter Radiomics Study.

Academic radiology
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop an efficient machine-learning model using pituitary MRI radiomics and clinical data to differentiate growth hormone deficiency (GHD) from idiopathic short stature (ISS), making the diagnostic process more acceptab...

Use of machine learning to identify patients at risk of sub-optimal adherence: study based on real-world data from 10,929 children using a connected auto-injector device.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to develop a machine learning model, using real-world data captured from a connected auto-injector device and from early indicators from the first 3 months of treatment, to predict sub-optimal adherence to recombinant human gr...

Sociodemographic risk factors of under-five stunting in Bangladesh: Assessing the role of interactions using a machine learning method.

PloS one
This paper aims to demonstrate the importance of studying interactions among various sociodemographic risk factors of childhood stunting in Bangladesh with the help of an interpretable machine learning method. Data used for the analyses are extracted...

Digital technologies to improve the precision of paediatric growth disorder diagnosis and management.

Growth hormone & IGF research : official journal of the Growth Hormone Research Society and the International IGF Research Society
Paediatric disorders of impaired linear growth are challenging to manage, in part because of delays in the identification of pathological short stature and subsequent referral and diagnosis, the requirement for long-term therapy, and frequent poor ad...
